Frequently asked
Why the distinctive 500ml squat bottle?
Iconic Nikka design that has become recognisable globally. The 500ml size positions From The Barrel as a "special" small-batch bottle rather than a standard-sized retail whisky.
Why 51.4% ABV?
Nikka bottles From The Barrel at 51.4% ABV — a higher-strength expression allowing the concentrated character to shine. Preserves aromatic depth that lower-ABV bottling would dilute.
