Nikka Super Rare Old Japanese Blended [700ML]

Description

Looking for a Japanese whisky that carries six decades of craftsmanship and a deeply personal story?

The Nikka Super Rare Old represents one of Japan’s most enduring whisky achievements, launched in 1962 as founder Masataka Taketsuru’s heartfelt tribute to his late wife Rita. This premium blended whisky showcases the artistry of Japan’s pioneering distillery through a masterful combination of Yoichi and Miyagikyo single malts. Unlike heavily peated expressions such as Big Peat Islay Blended Malt, this offers gentle smokiness perfect for Malaysian palates. For those exploring premium blends, consider comparing with Togouchi Premium Japanese Blended Whisky.
