“OMG, i can't believe how delicious this whisky is. the slight kick at the end was a surprise as i expected it to be smoother but then again, it went so well that the little kick at the end just made it seem exotic. i need to stock up on this.”

Can't be beaten, regardless of price.

I've drunk a fair amount of premium Japanese whiskey, but the Nikka 17 and 21 are the real standouts. Tasted against a Yamazaki 18 and Macallan Peter Blake, I preferred the Nikka 17, so balanced, yet powerful flavours. Increasingly hard to find, but I keep a bottle in stock at all times, even though it's getting hard to find in auction. This will be near impossible to find soon.

Such a shame there is no more of this being made

Nose: Spiced opal fruits...the whole range. Palate: Cavernous sherryesque gaseous experience. Flawless. AfteR: There is a deep mossy finish, sinking into that rotting log. Wonderful.

An Ode to Nikka Tektsuru 17

My wife got me a sample of this as an anniversary present 3 years ago, alongside some other pretty great whiskeys from around the world, but this one retained a special memory as my fav. 2 years ago, I had the means to bottle as a treat, but to my sadness it had been discontinued. I tried a few places around London but alas, couldn't find. Discontinued everywhere. Then last weekend, going through Gydnia airport, Poland, and I see a whiskey and cigar shop. I'm thinking of maybe an older Glenfiddich, or other Speyside. Maybe a nice XO cognac. And just when I'm thinking if I can justify the spend, I spot it, on the top shelf, and immediately pick it up. My wife knows just how good I think this is, having heard me recount stories as it gradually got more epic over the years, and having been restrained at a Polish wedding to join her in not drinking (pregnant) she's more than happy for me to buy it as a treat. What a great wife. I open it up at 2am in the morning when we get back home and savour the smell. It's got that subtle smoke I remember, without being too smokey for my taste. I get hints of the sherry too, again it's subtle, but it's there. I pour a dram and it looks alluring in the glass. As I taste it, the vanilla is stronger than I remember, lasting longer on the tongue. It's slightly less berries and honey than last time too, slightly less sweet. I can't tell if this is the tiredness, the lack of memory, slight differences in the barrel, a lack of an ice cube (which I used to have, rarely have now) or my tastes changing. The next night I add a large sphere of ice and enjoy again. It helps bridge the gap, for me this is quite a powerful whiskey so a drop of water or a large cube is probably still better, but I imagine purists or those fine with peat will love it in her natural glory. Perhaps she's a little different to the last time I saw her. But my goodness is she still incredible. Way more mature than her years, and wonderfully complex. The balance between sherry and woody and sweetness and vanilla is amazing. I will absolutely buy this over and over, I think for the £150 I've paid she's the best there is.
