Nikka 'Super' Rare Old Blended Whisky, Japan

The Rare Old Super Nikka Whisky is a Japanese blended whisky that has been around since 1962, created to commemorate the passing of Masataka Taketsuru’s wife, Rita. It is known for its smooth and mellow profile, with a high proportion of malt from the Yoichi and Miyagikyo distilleries. Here are its tasting notes:

Nose: A slightly smoky influence with woody and sharp notes. Hints of vanilla nougat, tropical fruit, and cotton candy add sweetness.

Palate: Shockingly sweet on first sip, featuring vanilla, caramel, and dark chocolate, with a touch of spice and nuts.

Finish: Long and lingering, with a warm, slightly peppery aftertaste, fading into a sweet, oaky conclusion.

This whisky is often described as easy-drinking, with only slight touches of peatiness and sherry
