Iconic blend by the historical Japanese producer, The Nikka 12 Years is a worthy showcase of the Nikka blender’s know-how and skill. With a majority of malt whisky from Nikka’s two distilleries in northern Japan – Yoichi and Miyagikyo – and a grain whisky distilled in a Coffey Still, all the elements at the heart of Nikka are brought together in one exceptional whisky.
Colour: |
Old gold with orange hue |
Nose: |
Sleek and refined. A perfect balance of fruits, malted barley, beeswax and spices (cinnamon, nutmeg), the first nose is very full. The nose then evolves on softer fruit and herbal notes (moss, lichen), a sign of great maturity, and lingers on citrus aromas (orange, lemon). |
Taste: |
Both lively and serene. Dark chocolate provides the backbone of mouth-watering bitterness. On one end, the malted barley extends to earthier notes, while on the other, fresh fruits (apple, prunes, mirabelle and greenage plums, pear) are reminiscent of a plentyful harvest. With air, honeyed and floral notes (lilac, lilly of the valley) make their appearance. |
Finish: |
Long, suave. At first coconut milk and red berries (strawberry, raspberry) stretch out across the palate. In the back of the mouth, candied fruit (pineapple, clementine) accentuate the pleasant freshness, while the retro-olfaction is marked by tobacco and licorice notes. The empty glass offers a glimpse at a variety of flowers. |
