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 whisky bottle was distilled in 1988 and strictly matured in a single cask until being bottled. This bottle was voted by number 1 by Whisky Advocate in 2013. It is a high quality stuff, like everything else from Nikka.
