In 1985, Nikka Whisky released a bold whisky packaged in a small square bottle called Nikka From the Barrel.
Master blender Shigeo Sato created a rich whisky enhanced by graphic designer Taku Satoh's minimalist style, and 40 years later it is a legend worth celebrating. That's what this new whisky is for.
Nikka From The Barrel Extra Marriage brings together grain whisky from Nikka’s renowned Coffey stills with malt whiskies sourced primarily from the Yoichi and Miyagikyo distilleries. It pushes the original From the Barrel further by adding a cask marriage period twice as long.
Presented in its original bottle with a smart new silver label stamped with the words Extra Marriage, this whisky is a tribute to 40 years of one of the great expressions.
Nikka from the Barrel Extra Marriage opens with notes of honey, beeswax and tropical pineapple along with nutmeg and ginger. There is also a gentle, elegant, smoky character with a rich earthiness.
On the palate, there is candied lemon and cocoa powder along with roasted cereals and plum jam, ending with a flinty, salty peat note.
