50cl / 51.4% - Nikka from the Barrel is big-boned and bursting with character. A real star, winning top prize in its category at the World Whisky Awards in 2007 and 2010.
Known as the founding father of Japanese whisky, Masataka Taketsuru studied the art of distillation in Scotland before returning to Japan to set up a distillery in a region that reminded him of the Highlands of Scotland. Tasted blind you would never know the difference. This whisky is bottled directly out of the cask, giving it a unique character. It possesses a distinctive personality characterised by solidity, depth of taste and a richly expanding aroma.
