Nikka was the life's work of Masataka Taketsuru, the "Father of Japanese Whisky." Its products are rightly celebrated worldwide for their quality, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you can feel the ingenuity of Masataka in Nikka whisky. Of all their products, Nikka Black is perhaps the most notable. This 8 year old is a blend of malts and grains from the Yoichi and Miyagikyo distilleries. Very mild texture.
