Unfortunately, in today’s Japanese whisky market you don’t have many other options at this price point. This lacks power, lacks flavor and interest factor. It is a good intro to Japanese whisky, however I would go for a Nikka from the Barrel any day. Finish? What finish? The flavor disappears so quickly, it is hardly a finish. There isn’t much character or interest factor and you can tell they rushed it out albeit the exceptional blending prowess to smooth out the kinks. ![]() It wasn’t cheap per-se, but it also wasn’t a big deal. But is that a good thing? I don’t think so. The first Nikka whiskey I ever reviewed was Nikka 21 Year Pure Malt, a super duper ultra premium Japanese Whisky that my dad acquired from Duty Free during a business trip to Japan in the early 2010’s. I mean, one could down this like cordial, that is how ‘smooth’ it is. The Palate, unfortunately is quite unsophisticated but very smooth. There’s more vanilla here, giving a more bourbon. bottling comes across as distinctly fruitier, though it is still loaded with wood. The nose isn’t discernibly different, but the palate is: The U.S. Plenty rich and flavoursome, its a wonderful addition to. The Nikka Coffey Malt Whisky was introduced to their selection of expressions in 2014. The blending is superb with this whisky! The nose is excellent and super compelling and somewhat unique. Nikka Whisky from the Barrel (U.S.) Extensively tasted side by side against the Japanese bottle. While most distilleries use their Coffey stills only to make grain whisky, Nikka use the two Coffey stills at their Miyagikyo distillery to create malt whisky too. However, I must give credit where credit is due. This whisky is blended exceptionally well and you can taste that it’s a young whisky rushed out to make more money.

Mostly it is fruit, perfume and some spice with the tiniest hint of smoke. Unsure if there is actually Mizunara influence, but I do smell a somewhat unconventional perfume, sandalwood type smell. I can smell a hint of vanilla and coconut – definite bourbon influence here I think.
