"...this is gorgeous liquid..." - Jonny McCormick, Whisky Advocate
Nikka's From The Barrel releases are always highly anticipated and coveted among Japanese whisky fans, with previous releases pulling down top accolades, including Whisky Advocate's Whisky of the Year in 2018 and Gold Medals at the World Whisky Awards. To celebrate this iconic bottling, they've released a 40th anniversary limited edition with a special twist.
From The Barrel is Nikka's tribute to their dual mastery of grain and malt whiskies. A blend of several barrels of both spirits, it showcases the incredible depth and intrigue that these spirits offer when their best features work in tandem. After final blending, the spirit is allowed to rest an extra three months in used oak to harmonize the flavors and texture, resulting in the profile that fans have gone crazy over for now four decades. For this "Extra Marriage" edition, the whisky spends six months in barrel, which gives even greater depth, detail, and nuance to an already stupendous dram. For Nikka fans, or any fan of top-tier Japanese whisky, this is one to add to the shelf without thinking twice.
