Nikka Whiskey From the Barrel remains one of the most popular Japanese whiskeys, especially in Europe. This bottle was made from malt whiskey and matured grain, with grain from the Miyagikyo distillery and malt from Yoichi. Nikka grain and malts are blended and then matured in a first fill bourbon barrel, creating a rich harmony between distinctly different whiskeys. Bottled at 51,4% ABV, this whiskey is characterized by its solidity, depth and a rich aroma.
