Nikka is one of our favorite Japanese companies; not only does it make world quality whisky, but its foundation story is also so intriguing that it is the subject of a television drama. This particular Nikka Single Cask bottle is a rare malt whisky from the distillery. It was strictly matured in 1996 in a single cask until being bottled in 2014. This is a very rare bottle that has only been sold directly from the distillery. It is a high quality stuff, like everything else from Nikka.
