Nikka Tailored Japanese Blended [700ML]

Description

Looking for a Japanese whisky that bridges tradition with modern craftsmanship?

The Nikka Tailored Japanese Blended represents a pivotal moment in Japanese whisky history, launched in 2019 to replace the beloved Nikka 12 Year Old. This premium blend masterfully combines single malts from both legendary Yoichi and Miyagikyo distilleries with exceptional Coffey Still grain whisky. Unlike the Togouchi Premium Japanese Blended, this expression showcases Nikka’s signature house style through careful curation rather than extended aging.
