Nikka Whisky - Japanese Blended Whisky - Coffret Nikka From the Barrel + 2 verres & bec verseur

Nikka From the Barrel is a blend of grain and malt whiskies, an ambitious blend that imposes its power and strength with mastery. The complex aromatic palette is organized around floral and apricot scents, as well as spices such as clove and delicate leather. The palate confirms the stature of a whisky with broad shoulders, punctuated by peppery flavors, notes of ripe fruit, peach, caramelized apple and honeysuckle, on a very intense toasty-gritty and vanilla background. A rich, complex bestseller that simply can't be ignored!

The Japanese sometimes accompany their fish meals with whisky served as mizuwari: the whisky is reduced by two-thirds water and a few ice cubes to give it an alcoholic strength equivalent to that of wine.
