About this bottle
Nikka From the Barrel is a Japanese blended whisky married in casks after blending and bottled at a punchy 102.8 proof. It draws on more than a hundred malt and grain whiskies from the Yoichi and Miyagikyo distilleries, then rests the finished blend in oak so the parts knit together before bottling. For its strength it drinks remarkably smooth, layering butterscotch and orange peel over stone fruit, coffee, old oak, and a wisp of smoke and spice. The squat little bottle has become a modern classic, punching well above its price for a whisky this bold. Sip it neat to feel the full weight, or build it into a rich, high-strength highball.
How to drink Nikka From the Barrel
Sip it neat to feel the full weight, or build it into a high-strength highball where the proof holds up against plenty of soda and ice. Either way it rewards a slow pour.

Questions about this bottle
What's the best way to serve From the Barrel?
Serve it neat or with a splash of water; at 51.4% ABV it's higher proof than most Japanese whisky, so it can take a bit of dilution.
What does 'From the Barrel' mean here?
After blending malt and grain whiskies from the Yoichi and Miyagikyo distilleries, the mix is re-married in oak casks before bottling at a higher-than-usual proof.
Who is Nikka named after?
Nikka was founded by Masataka Taketsuru, considered the father of Japanese whisky, who studied whisky-making in Scotland.
