Nikka Session Japanese Blended Malt Whisky (700ml)

Volume: 700ml          ABV: 43%          Age: No Age Statement         Country: Japan

Produced by Nikka to add some competition to the world whisky stage and match the Suntory Ao release. The whisky is a blend of malts from Yoichi, Miyagikyo, and Ben Nevis distilleries. Nikka who own the Ben Nevis Distillery in Scotland are now utilising the delicious spirit produced there and using it in a few of their blends. Suntory recently produced the Suntory World Whisky by using whisky distilleries from different countries and blending them together. This has motivated Nikka to do the same and we think they have created a very nice whisky indeed. It’s Nikka’s first new whisky in six years. Bottled at 43% ABV.

Our Tasting Notes

Nose: Orchard fruits and tropical fruits are there, some subtle mint leaf and underlying spice.

Finish: Malted barley, pink peppercorns and some soft smoke.
