Nikka Super Nikka Revival Japanese Whisky
Out of stock
Super Nikka was launched back in 1962 by distillery owner Mr Taketsuru in tribute to his wife. This 2015 Revival version replicates the original style which is a bit peatier than today's current bottlings.
A blend with real depth, richness and more importantly for this blend, sweet smoke. This gives plenty a blend a run for its money at twice the price of this super indeed Nikka.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper-bronze highlights and a warm, honey-gold glow.
Nose
Rich honeycomb and aromatic spices weave with buttery French toast, chocolate and orange, accented by wisps of sweet smoke, leather, toffee and baked banana.
Palate
Sweet and spicy delivery with generous smoked Yoichi malt. Juicy sultana, rum-and-raisin fudge, Crunchie bars, orange bitters, and ripe figs in honey, all wrapped in a lush blanket of aromatic smoke.
Finish
Salty orange lingers, joined by rich sherry-soaked dried fruit. Singed waxy fruit mingles with vanillin oak, then the unmistakable Yoichi soot and smoke drifts through to seal the finish.
