🥃 NIKKA PURE MALT (43%)

Alcohol Percentage (ABV): 43%

Taste & Flavor Profile: This Japanese Pure Malt (meaning a blend of single malts from different distilleries) offers a smooth, medium-bodied, and harmonious profile. The nose is inviting, with a pleasant balance of vanilla, honeyed malt, apricot, and subtle peat smoke. The palate is exceptionally balanced, featuring layers of sweet caramel, spicy ginger, toasted nuts, and a gentle, clean citrus note. It has a long, mellow finish that leaves a refreshing, delicate smokiness.

Key Details: Nikka Pure Malt is a blend of single malts sourced primarily from Nikka’s two distilleries: Yoichi (which provides a richer, peatier character) and Miyagikyo (which provides a lighter, more floral character).1 This bottling is part of Nikka’s commitment to showcasing the art of blending. The term “Pure Malt” is similar to the Scottish “Blended Malt” and represents a whisky of exceptional balance, making it a highly versatile and superb everyday sipping whisky.
