Despite being made from 100% malted barley, this spirit is technically classified as a grain whisky due to its unique distillation in a Coffey still rather than traditional pot stills. Matured methodically in old casks to develop its rich maltiness and velvety texture, this 2013 creation represents Nikka's experimental spirit and commitment to expanding whisky horizons. At 45% ABV (90 proof), it delivers an approachable yet characterful experience that stands apart from other Japanese offerings with its uncommon distillation method.
