Nikka The Grain Whisky 2023 – 70cl

Nose : Fresh, complex. On the first nose, beeswax smoothly interlaces with aromatic plants [verbena, chamomile] and fresh fruits [pineapple, mirabelle]. The nose then opens up on vanilla, delicately roasted and more heady grain aromas.

Appearance : Or soutenu.

Palate : Rich yet slender. The creamy [almond milk and coconut] and vanilla attack is also full of energy. The slender mid-palate shows delicate liquorice, before finishing on soft spices [cinnamon, ginger].

Overall : Well-balanced, creamy. In continuation of the palate, the finish also returns to the notes of grains and aromatic plants from the first nose. The delicious after-taste wavers between mint, acacia honey and heady floral flavours [broom, mimosa].
