Nikka is one of the most recognizable alcoholic beverage companies in Japan; its products are on sale at every corner of the country. Of all its products, the Black Nikka is perhaps the most recognized. This Nikka Black Special, nicknamed as “Bearded Black”, has been available since 1965, and was distilled in the Yoichi distillery. *This particular bottling was produced prior to the introduction of Japanese whisky labeling standards in February 2021.*
