The Nikka 12 Year Old

A fantastic 12 year old blended Japanese whisky from Nikka presented in a bottle that takes its design from the neckline of a kimono. Enjoy neat, over ice or in a classic highball.

This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose Butterscotch, poached pears, toffee apples, nougat and nutmeg.

Palate Buttery oak, rounded malt, a touch of leather and a hint of smoke.

Finish Spicy, fruity, decent length with a little cocoa.

Reviews for The Nikka 12 Year Old
Sublime, not easy to get anymore
Got this bottle for myself for a celebration, was one of the last few available of the 12 year old statement in my country. An extremely gentle blend that will suck your nose into the snifter and keep it there for the duration of the dram. No longer available in any way, shape or form to me at least. Kicking my self that I didn't get the other 2 bottles of it that was in the store at the time.

Good but expensive
Have only tried a sample and am not the most experienced on whisky drinkers so feel free to take this with a pinch of salt. I do like this, it’s quite perfumed on the nose, immensely smooth with subtle smoke and a long warming finish. I’m not enough of an expert to taste the notes other may do. Not sure I’d fork out over 100 quid for this. I think I prefer the Nikka from the Barrel at about half the price but maybe that’s my unsophisticated tastes

Great whisky, just be aware if you want the presentation box.
Great whisky but very disappointed that the bottle does come with presentation box. Product doesn’t mention that until you write to customer service who just say it’s not supplied if there isn’t a picture advertised. Very poor.

Overpriced and one-dimensional
Utterly uninspiring. Super smooth, but absolutely no “body” or complexity. Fresh green apple flavours, with a short, sweet finish.

For this price, I would expect something MUCH more interesting. Wouldn’t dream of buying this ever again. Shame because I love the Nikka distillery in general.
