Nikka was based in Japan in 1934 and presently makes use of two completely different distilleries to hone their blends. As the underside tier blended whisky of the Nikka model (The Nikka, and Tremendous Nikka maintain the highest spots), the Days iteration is supposed to be mild, simple going and inexpensive for on a regular basis use.

The Whisky

Colour: Gentle amber-orange coloration.

Nostril: Gentle peat is first off the glass, then mild cinnamon, malt, candy citrus and caramel.

Palate: This mix sits softly on the palate with out barely any sense of burn. There are mild notes of cinnamon, crème brûlée, browned butter, butterscotch, caramel, citrus zest and delicate Asian 5 spice. It’s delicate, and meant to be delicate and never meant to be an aggressive whiskey and at 40% ABV, it doesn’t drink prefer it. You’d count on a bit extra girth, however this somewhat delicately balances fruity and malted flavors together with peat. It’s a bit candy, little question to cater to a broad demographic, however there’s a nonetheless a peppery and clean high quality. That is very best for these new to whiskey and brown spirits and anybody who needs a small glass of strong whisky that’s nice and agreeable.

The Worth
