Nikka’s 90th Anniversary: A Whisky Like No Other
As I sit here, sipping on a dram of fine whisky, I am reminded of the rich history and craftsmanship that goes into creating these magnificent spirits. And what better way to celebrate this art form than with a whisky that spans nearly a century? Nikka, Japan’s second-largest whisky company, is doing just that with their latest release - a blended whisky that combines liquids distilled over the past nine decades.
A glimpse into Nikka’s rich history
This extraordinary whisky is a testament to Nikka’s commitment to excellence and innovation. With over 50 batches of whisky from six different distilleries, including Ben Nevis, this blend is truly one-of-a-kind. The oldest whiskies come from Yoichi and Miyagikyo, while newer grain whiskies hail from Moji and Satsumasuka. The result is a complex and harmonious blend that showcases the best of Nikka’s craftsmanship.
“The liquid in this high-end world blend was distilled over the course of nearly a century, from the 1940s to the 2020s.” - Nikka’s Master Blender
The art of blending: a delicate balance of flavors
This limited-edition release is a true collector’s item, with only 4,000 bottles available worldwide. And for those in the United States, be prepared to wait until October to get your hands on one of the 400 bottles allocated to the market. The price tag? A hefty $3,000.
