Nikka's 90th Anniversary Discovery Series proudly presents its latest innovation, "Nikka The Grain." This exceptional grain whisky, set to release in 2023, showcases the mastery and heritage of Nikka in crafting unique whisky experiences.
Expertly bottled at 48% ABV, "Nikka The Grain" is a premium offering. Emphasizing exclusivity, only 20,000 bottles will be available globally, with equal distribution between the domestic Japanese market and international consumers.
This whisky stands as a testament to Nikka's decades-long expertise in grain whisky production, particularly highlighted by its flagship Nikka Coffey Grain Whisky. "Nikka The Grain" is a blend of seven distinct styles of grain whiskies, creating a symphony of flavors and textures.
The whisky unfolds with a rich and gorgeous array of Coffey grains, complemented by the sweetness of Coffey malt. It culminates in a harmonious blend of barley's aroma, corn's sweetness, and rye's freshness. This unique combination offers a refreshing spiciness and a deep, mellow sweetness.
The official tasting notes describe an aroma reminiscent of fresh marmalade and cider, enhanced with woody and vanillic undertones and the sweet, savory scents of toasted cereals and cookies. The taste features a gentle cinnamon spice and the inherent sweetness of corn, leading to a full-bodied and refreshing rye flavor. The finish is a delicate balance of bittersweet, leaving a clean and satisfying aftertaste.
"Nikka The Grain" is not just a whisky; it's a celebration of Nikka's continuous innovation in whisky making, using the continuous Coffey distillation still. It's an ideal choice for those who appreciate the art of Japanese whisky making and the subtle complexities of grain whiskies.
