Nikka From the Barrel – 50 cl

Nikka from the Barrel is big-boned and bursting with character. Not averse to a drop of water, either. A real star, winning top prize in its category at the World Whisky Awards in 2007 and 2010. Japanese whisky producer Nikka was founded in 1934 and has become Japan's second largest distiller, producing a large range of single malts and blended whiskies between its two distilleries - Yoichi and Miyagikyo.

NOSE: Spicy and peppery, but there’s a richness behind it, with spicy oak and soft orange fruitiness, and soft vanilla notes from the bourbon cask.

PALATE: Grainy sweetness and candied orange peel, quite rich, accompanied by rich cinnamon and clove.

FINISH: Great balance, this really needs a little water to allow the flavours to unfurl.

COMMENT: Characterful stuff, this whisky has plenty of personality, and shows a delightful balance between the spicy pepperiness and rich citrus fruit.

Indulge all of your senses with a smooth glass of Johnnie Walker Double Black Label Blended Scotch Whisky. Strongly influenced by powerful and peaty West Coast and Islay Single Malts, the intensity is immediately apparent with the taste of smoke and smoldering spices. An impressive blended Scotch to share, whatever the occasion.

Simply mix with soda water, pour over ice and garnish with a lime wedge for a Highball cocktail.          Johnnie Walker was recognized as one of the world's top-trending Scotch whiskies at the 2020 Drinks International awards. The Johnnie Walker brand's extraordinary knowledge of Scotland’s malts and its deep desire to create well-balanced blends of island malt whiskies led to the whisky brand we have today. Each batch is then carefully matured to perfection in quality oak casks. As one of the biggest whisky brands in the world, Johnnie Walker embraces a rallying cry for optimism through adversity as it challenges the world to keep walking.

Please drink responsibly.

Johnnie Walker® Double Black Label™ is a scotch whisky with more Islay whisky compared to the original Black Label, and it has a more intense flavor and smoke character profile while preserving the original Johnnie Walker whisky style. It's a full-bodied drink with an alcohol concentration of 40%. Its aroma hints the smell of dry oak and light stony smoke. The orange zest and apples coupled with vanilla and spices bring freshness and softness to the tongue, giving it a generally sweet taste.

The Macallan treated this 18 Year Old to not just one, but two cask content-types for its maturation, released as part of the Double Cask series! Oloroso sherry was used to season a combination of both American and European oak casks, with the former imparting vanilla nuances while the latter brings that hallmark Macallan spice. Another fantastic sherried single malt from the Speyside distillery!
