Nikka Days Blended Whisky
(0.7l, 40%)
Refreshing no-nonsense Nikka Whisky
Nikka is the founding father of the Japanese Whisky production, and we expect nothing less than perfection from them. And Nikka seems to deliver every time. Established in 1934 by the legendary Masataka Taketsuru (right after he helped establishing its rival Suntory), Nikka has been producing premium bottles without breaking a sweat. Their modus operandi is blending knowledge and tradition of the East and the West, and this bottle is the sum of all years.
Nikka Days Blended Whisky is a West-only expression that’s refreshingly no-B.S. The name is straightforward, the presentation is minimalistic, and all that matters is the smooth and fruity profile that can impress both neat or in a ritzy cocktail. Its approachability will enchant amateurs, while its creamy, almost Scottish character will please connoisseurs. The subtle blend of grain Whiskies is a welcome addition to your home bar during the Whisky shortage in Japan. But it’s more than just a consolation prize. It’s Nikka, after all.

Martin,
Initial nosing has a fresh bloom of lemon, apple, pear, and bit of orange. Tasting reveals a smooth flavor filled with some vanilla, caramel, apple, lemon cake, citrus and a bit of malt. Nice finish. Very enjoyable.
Timothy,
Smooth sipping whiskey. I truly enjoyed the taste.
Vicky,
Smoooth as silk but flavorful. Lovely for sipping.
Deja,
Not a very impressive Nikka in my opinion.
