Nikka From the Barrel (51.4%)

Nikka From the Barrel is a blend of several types of malt and grain whisky, bottled at 51.4%. It was created to offer the full flavour and richness of whisky taken straight from the cask, as only blenders usually get to nose and taste it. With so many characterful components at this strength, the whisky is left to marry in used casks for three to six months so that it settles and comes together. The short, square bottle is meant to suggest a small lump of whisky, reflecting the rich, strong taste inside.
