𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡: 43% ABV
𝐂𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐨𝐫𝐲: Japanese Blended Whisky

First released in the 1960s, Nikka Super is a bottle of Japanese whisky history. Mellow, rounded, and subtly smoky, it reflects the early vision of Masataka Taketsuru, the father of Japanese whisky, in a blend that still feels timeless today.

𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐃𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐬
A blend of malt and grain whiskies primarily from Nikka’s Miyagikyo and Yoichidistilleries, aged in a mix of ex-bourbon and sherry casks. The whisky leans on Yoichi’s subtle peat and Miyagikyo’s soft fruit to deliver depth and drinkability.

𝐓𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐞
𝐍𝐨𝐬𝐞: Soft peat, dried fruit, and toffee with a whiff of old school leather and spice.
𝐏𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞: Creamy and well-rounded. Notes of caramel, stewed apples, walnut, and a gentle smoky undertone glide across the tongue.
𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡: Smooth and warming with lingering malt, pepper, and dried oak.

𝐘𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐳𝐚𝐤𝐢 𝟏𝟐 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐎𝐥𝐝

𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡: 43% ABV
𝐂𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐨𝐫𝐲: Japanese Single Malt Whisky
𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐲: Yamazaki Distillery
Suntory The Yamazaki 12 year Old is a pioneering malt in Japan, for which Suntory deserve great credit. In its early days, it was rounded and delicate...now it is more intense, confident and elegant.

𝐓𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐞

𝐍𝐨𝐬𝐞: Like stepping into a Japanese orchard in spring, honeyed peaches, sandalwood, dried apricots, and a whisper of smoke.

𝐏𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞: Silky and layered, with notes of spiced oak, roasted nuts, orange peel, and Mizunara warmth dancing gracefully on the tongue.

𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐡: Lingering and refined, soft clove, cedar, and a delicate smokiness that slowly drifts away like incense.
