The Nikka IX Nine Decades

A limited edition blend from Nikka celebrating the company`s 90th anniversary. A blend of malt (including some Yoichi from the 1945!) and grain whisky across nine decades, from the 1940s to the 2020s, sourced from six distilleries - Yoichi, Nishinomiya, Miyagikyo, Moji, Satsumatsukasa and Ben Nevis.

Notes from the team at Nikka...

"Rich apple pie and raisin sweetness with toasty barrel-aging notes, gentle smokiness, and the nostalgic scent of antique furniture. Complex aromas evoke the feeling of standing in a whisky warehouse.

Mellow oak forms a base for spicy cinnamon, roasted nuts, and rich dark chocolate. Subtle peat bitterness balances sweet apricot jam and maple syrup, with an overall warmth reminiscent of sitting by a fireplace.

Gentle peat and full body with sweet and sour notes, leading to a pleasant bitterness on a very long finish."
