Nikka The Grain Whisky 2023 – 70cl
The third release in the “Discovery” collection launched in 2021 in the run-up to Nikka Whisky’s 90th anniversary. This version is created from a blend of grain whiskies produced at the Miyagikyo, Nishinomiya [where production ceased in 1998], Moji and Satsuma Tsukasa distilleries. With a subtle combination of freshness and maturity, Nikka The Grain also reveals incredible balance throughout the tasting. This deep harmony is best-owed by the flawless symbiosis of the individual components.

Description
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].
ABV 48%
