Tasting Note
Initial impressions are of sweet earthy notes and cheery fruits in a full smell. There is a little peat and vanilla in the nose and It is a more sweet, full fruity, smell than anything else. With just a hint of peat and vanilla fudge to make it smooth. Having smelled this and got my taste buds tingling at the prospect of the whisky the first hit of flavour with a nose full of fumes it mainly…. smooth, warm caramel, red apples and light peat in a nice finish… much better than the 10 years old, more refined and delicate, still with a little too much warmth though. Add only a little water and that is sorted. Smooths of the mouth feel to be thinner and makes it a little less firy to drink.

Nikka
Born in 1894 into a family of sake producers, Masataka Taketsuru is considered the father of Japanese whiskey. After training as a chemist, he was hired by the Settsu Shuzo company which sent him to Scotland in 1918 to do his apprenticeship. He developed a passion for whiskey and decided to devote his life to it. In 1934, he built Yoichi, his first distillery, on the island of Hokkaido. Its growing success allowed it to establish a second in 1969 near Sendai: Miyagikyo. It is from the single malts of these two distilleries that the Nikka Whiskey group declines its entire range of Japanese whiskeys.
