As the name suggests, the Nikka Whisky Rye Base was created through Nikka’s experiment of using rye during production, which is much harder to break down and distill with, in comparison with barley. Yet, through careful and skilful experimentation, this wonderful rye-based whisky came to life. And now it can be yours. *This particular bottling was produced prior to the introduction of Japanese whisky labeling standards in February 2021.*
