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.

Ratings & Reviews
Ben,
Smooth. Similer to Johnny walker black. But not as heavy on the taste. Very slight hint of liquorice on the nose. Very easy to drink.. oaky aftertaste.
William,
Very wide on its flavor profile. Light and citrusy, but I prefer my whiskies to be a littler bolder.
Ray,
Nose, was light smoke, spice, and ethanol. Flavor was very light and mellow smoke and spice but is about all I got. I expected more from this one.
David,
Sight 🧐 ; Light yellow blended whisky with fast running legs,
Nose 👃 ; Milk chocolate, vanilla, some spice heat, slight smoke,
Taste 👅 ; Vanilla, some smoke, slight fruit, some nuts towards the finish,
