Nikka From The Barrel 90th Anniversary Japanese Blended [500ML]

Description

Looking for a Japanese whisky that represents nine decades of master craftsmanship in a single bottle?

The Nikka From The Barrel 90th Anniversary stands as a remarkable tribute to Japan’s whisky heritage, celebrating Nikka’s founding in 1934. This commemorative edition showcases the artistry of blending over 100 different batches of malt and grain whiskies, creating complexity that rivals premium expressions like our cask strength single malts. The signature square bottle design embodies the concept of “a small block of whisky,” housing intense flavors that undergo a special marriage process in used bourbon casks for enhanced harmony.
