Tasting Notes
Colour
A warm, sunlit amber with honey-gold glow and coppery edges.
Nose
Ripe orchard fruit floods the nose, paired with honeyed vanilla and caramel. Orange zest sparkles over toasted almond and warm oak, while a wisp of cocoa adds depth. A subtle smoke and peppery bite from the high ABV lend brightness and energy. Luxuriously Nikka, elegant and inviting.
Palate
Silky and full on the palate, this Nikka delivers creamy vanilla, toffee and orange zest with orchard fruit. Cocoa and warm spices—cinnamon and clove—sit atop a confident oak backbone, with a subtle touch of smoke. The alcohol warmth lends peppery heat that lingers on the tongue.
Finish
Opulent and long, the finish unfurls slowly: warm vanilla and oak give way to ginger spice, dark chocolate and a citrus zest lift. Dried fruit sweetness threads through, while a delicate smoky undercurrent and a silky mouthfeel linger, leaving a refined, warming echo that endures.
