Explore its charm &amp; taste 3 limited editions in a unique whisky experienceAbout this Event40 Years of Nikka from the BarrelJoin Nikka Whisky’s Global Spokesperson and Educator, Emiko Kaji, in commemorating Nikka’s iconic whisky, From the Barrel’s 40th Anniversary. We will explore the charm of the brand from various angles and experience 3 limited edition whiskies produced for this special anniversary. We will taste first-hand the expert skills of Nikka’s master blenders and the creation of From the Barrel, blended from some 100 iterations of whisky. Adding to this whisky’s complexity, we will taste the evolution of the whisky with additional ageing in the Limited Edition Extra Marriage. In addition, two other cask strength components, created specifically for this occasion, that make up From the Barrel, will be featured. This will be a truly unique experience discovering the creation of Nikka’s global best-selling whisky.Discover the products featured in the tasting:1) NIKKA - FROM THE BARREL$67.9994 Points, Whisky Advocate: "Notably balanced and elegant, the colorful palette of whiskies combines for tremendous depth of flavor. Soft, sweet butterscotch and orange peel meet poached pears and stone fruits. Earthiness appears as dried autumn leaves, coffee, old oak, and tobacco. Among the tangle of spices, tasters identified chili pepper, allspice, cloves, and universally adored its ginger note. Finally, wisps of smoke and sea salt. Overall, it feels generously malty, with the grain whisky lending broad sweetness and supple mouthfeel across the long finish. Beyond its delightful flavors, Nikka From the Barrel presents some paradoxes worthy of contemplation over a glass. It is a classic, yet new to the U.S. It is typically Japanese, yet singularly magnificent... Number 1 in the 2018 Top 20." (Winter 2018)2) Nikka From The Barrel Extra Marriage - Available from February 7, part of Premium Spirit Release$79.99A special 40th anniversary blend, this expression of Nikka From The Barrel takes the celebrated whisky to a new level of complexity. The "Extra Marriage" indicates it is aged for twice as long as the regular bottling in hogshead casks. The whisky delivers great depth and complex aromas of burnt caramel, dried fruits, and exotic spices. The palate offers toffee, rich fruits, more spices, and a complex punch, finishing with an oiliness tinged with smoke and peat on the back palate. This is a must-try for fans looking to discover the evolution of a classic.3) Nikka - From The Barrel 40th Anniversary Limited Edition Set - Available from February 7, part of Premium Spirit Release$399.99This special 3-bottle set celebrates 40 years of Nikka From the Barrel by featuring the two non-chill-filtered cask-strength components, the Grain Pieces of the Barrel and Malt Pieces of the Barrel, alongside the final "Extra Marriage" blend. The Malt offers a rich, structured character with notes of ripe apricot, sweet vanilla and mellow peat, while the Grain is sweet and smooth, with hints of banana and bitter-sweet marmalade. The Extra Marriage is a rich and full-bodied whisky with complex layers of chocolate, orange peel, and mellow oak tannins, culminating in a long, gently bitter finish.4)Nikka Whisky - Malt Pieces of the Barrel - Available from February 7, part of the Premium Spirit Release$399.99This special 3-bottle set celebrates 40 years of Nikka From the Barrel by featuring the two non-chill-filtered cask-strength components, the Grain Pieces of the Barrel and Malt Pieces of the Barrel, alongside the final "Extra Marriage" blend.
