Nikka – From The Barrel (50cl, 51.4%)

Nikka From The Barrel is a Japanese blended whisky first released in 1985. It was developed to deliver the full flavour and richness that only blenders usually get to nose and taste straight from the barrel. Its character comes from complex blending, a "marriage" process and a bottling strength of 51.4%, higher than is usual. It is sold in a 50cl square bottle, a shape that reflects the idea of "a small block of whisky".
