Nikka Days Whisky

Nose - orange oil and maltiness
Palate - not much fruit (to me at least), nutty and malty with a little barrel char. Light and smooth, but not particularly complex.
Finish - a little vanilla, but kind of short.

Very mellow and easy-drinking. Fans of Lowland whiskeys may appreciate this more than I did.

So uninspiring,
Akashi is better than this. This has cereal notes, cinder toffee, vanilla, floral, fruity. Light. Lacks the wow factor, very easy going.. too easy going.

It's OK
First time for me to try Japanese whisky it was good
But it won't beat Jameson whiskey

Lovely whisky to have in the cupboard as a backup for whenever you’ve run out of your favoured choice. It’s light tasting and for me the smoothness of the creamy mid and after taste far outweighs any fruitiness. Definite and constant staple edition to the drinks cabinet.

Not bad! Nothing all that special but worth a try at the price point. Really comes alive in a highball with some dehydrated pineapple for a garnish! I wouldn't buy a second but I don't regret buying it for a second

You can make a superb and cheap, much enhanced Nikka blend by mixing three parts Nikka Days with one part From The Barrel, feel free to vary the percentage as you like. Gives the Days far more taste and mouthfeel, and obviously abolishes the ethanol overpower of the Barrel. It's amazing value for money as an everyday drinking Japanese.
I may get shot down for mucking about with distillery products but in my view the mix I'd far superior to either of them on their own

Purchased as a big fan of From The Barrel. Although this is different its equally delicious, prefer Days with ginger and in a long drink and save my From The Barrel for sipping.

One of those strong tasting whisky but surprised me with the smooth sweet finish

The whiskey is OK. The taste is rather bland, was expecting more from a Japanese whiskey
If you van get it cheap, it's OK. But don't expect much.

I loved this whiskey. Super bright, crisp, and playful. Lots of green apple and pear, crazy drinkable neat but especially beautiful with an ice cube or in a high ball. Thoroughly recommend for the price - a great whiskey for the summer.
