Ho Ho Ho!
I just had a moment where I suddenly remembered how much all you humans have to do at Christmas. Guessing what people want, shopping around… All without magic.
Life is so much easier the #WhiskySanta way. Speaking of which, Super Wish time!
This week’s treat? The astonishing Nikka Nine Decades, jam-packed with Japanese whisky heritage and worth a cool £2,449.95. Yes, you read that right.
Before we take a closer look thouhg, a huge “kanpai” to @davethornton82 who landed last week’s Bunnahabhain 40 Year Old. Merry Christmas Dave!
Meet the Super Wish: Nikka Nine Decades
This week’s Super Wish is a time machine in a bottle.
Nikka combined over 50 batches of whisky spanning nine decades from the 1940s(!) to the 2020s, produced at the six Nikka distilleries. We’re talking the oldest reserve Japanese malt whisky from Yoichi and Miyagikyo. New grain whisky from Moji and Satsumatsukasa. A drop of Ben Nevis from Scotland, and even whisky from the now closed Nishinomiya distillery.
This whisky is making me feel old. And I’m a timeless supernatural being!
