Earlier today, we were delighted to unveil our latest endeavour: Transient Tones For Timeless Spirits – A dekanta LP and we are confident that you’ll enjoy this epic boxset as much as we enjoyed creating it. If you haven’t heard about this superb new sensory experience yet, click here to find out more. Now, in […]
With the on-going boom in Japanese whisky and the resultant lack of supply of new expressions from the big producers, we’ve not heard a whole lot from legendary Japanese whisky maker, Nikka, in recent times. Their core range has been in short supply, and we haven’t seen a new whisky from them since their Apple […]
Happy Monday everybody! What better way to kick off the week than by looking at another of our favourite Japanese whiskies. Yesterday we talked about the Taketsuru 17 Year Old – a tremendous blended whisky from Nikka – and if you missed that you can catch up by clicking here. Today, we’re looking at another […]
There’s just one more full day until Santa arrives with lots of whisky for us to enjoy with family and friends while we share in the pleasures of Christmas Turkey with all the trimmings, but before that, we have two more of our favourite new releases for 2020 to look at! Today, it’s another excellent […]
2020 has been one of the most difficult and eventful years in recent memory, with the Covid-19 pandemic sweeping the globe and turning our day-to-day lives upside down. It has thrown up challenges that no one ever saw coming; from being locked in our homes week after week; to learning to enjoy socially distanced meetings […]
This week, we’re delighted to welcome a brand new expression from Japanese whisky legends, Nikka, into our online store, and we have to say, this is one of the most promising releases from the drinks giant in recent years. Plagued by the on-going whisky shortage, Nikka have struggled to keep up with demand for their […]
It’s Day 3 of our 10 day dekanta anniversary countdown, and today we’re honouring one of Nikka’s two distilleries. Yesterday, we looked at Nagahama (if you missed that you can catch up right here), and we hope you all grabbed yourself a nice bottle at a discounted price. Today, we’re looking at Nikka Miyagikyo, the […]
New single malt releases from Nikka aren’t quite as regular as they once were. The drinks giant has been one of the hardest hit by the Japanese whisky shortage and this has led them to not only cut back on new single malt expressions, but also to remove many old favourites from production lines in […]
A bullet train from Tokyo takes me into Sendai and after a brief stop to get a taste of beef tongue ramen, a local delicacy in this part of Japan (and a tasty one at that), I’m off on another train towards Nikka’s famous Miyagikyo distillery. This is certainly no Shinkansen (bullet train), slowly climbing […]
The Miyagikyo Distillery, founded in 1969, was the second Nikka distillery to be built by Japanese whisky legend Masataka Taketsuru, coming just over 30 years after its sister distillery, Yoichi. While Yoichi was built on the island of Hokkaido in the far north of Japan, due to the climate conditions there being similar to Scotland, […]
