Nikka 80th Anniversary Pure Malt Japanese Whisky 21 Year Old

Colour

Deep amber with coppery highlights and a honey-gold glow.

Nose

Opulent and poised, the nose unfolds with refined malt and grain sweetness, mingling with sun-warmed orchard fruit—pear and green apple—with vanilla, honey, and toffee. A citrus zest lift, almond, and subtle spice complement the bouquet, while waxy oak and a whisper of smoke deepen the aroma. Complex, elegant, and clearly matured by twenty-one years.

Palate

Silky and opulent on the palate, ripe orchard fruits mingle with toffee, vanilla and malt, held aloft by an elegant oak backbone. Cinnamon and nutmeg spice weave through dark chocolate and almond notes, finishing long, polished and subtly maritime.

Finish

Elegant and lasting, the finish unfolds with creamy vanilla and honey, evolving into toasted oak and a whisper of smoke. Dried fruits and dark cocoa drift through the middle, finally settling into a warm, refined spice that lingers long on the palate.
