Nikka Whisky From The Barrel is an uncompromising expression of Japanese whisky craftsmanship: powerful, precise, and masterfully blended. 

Created by Nikka's legendary blenders, this award-winning whisky brings together over 100 distinct malt and grain components from the Yoichi and Miyagikyo distilleries, each carefully selected for their character and harmony.

Once blended, the whisky is re-casked, a process known as “marriage”, allowing the components to meld and mature together. This extra step deepens complexity, rounds off the edges, and creates a whisky with extraordinary balance and boldness. It’s whisky blending elevated to an art form.

Bottled at 51.4% ABV, it delivers a rich, full-bodied experience without sacrificing its elegance. 
Presented in its iconic square bottle, Nikka From The Barrel is a bold statement in minimalism - a whisky that speaks volumes without saying much at all. It’s a modern classic that continues to impress connoisseurs and newcomers alike.
