NIKKA Whisky Super Rare Old Japanese Whisky 43% Alc. 700ml

A true classic in the world of Japanese spirits, Super Nikka Rare Old is an elegant and well-balanced blended whisky that has remained a top seller since its introduction in 1962. Crafted by Nikka's founder, Masataka Taketsuru, this expression is made from a high proportion of malt whiskies from the Yoichi and Miyagikyo distilleries, which are then married with grain whiskies to create a harmonious and smooth profile.
Bottled at 43% ABV in a 700ml bottle, Super Nikka offers a rich and mellow experience with a subtle touch of peat and hints of sherry cask aging.

• Nose: The aroma is luxurious and inviting, with notes of dried herbs, incense, roasted spices, and sweet citrus fruits like melon and orange. Hints of vanilla and beeswax are also present.
• Palate: The flavor is soft, rounded, and smooth, showcasing notes of honey, lemongrass, ripe citrus, and gentle oak spice. The maltiness is pronounced, with hints of toffee, peanut butter, and cocoa emerging in the background.
• Finish: The finish is long and satisfying, with a gentle spice, stewed fruits, cloves, and a subtle, pleasant smokiness that lingers on the palate.
