One of my favourite classics.

Very well priced, I heard rumours about 2 -3 years ago it was going to be discontinued so i stocked up, but i guess that didnt happen!

Best with water, or neat, or in a highball, doesnt have the alcohol burn even thought its 51%

      The round kind I think

      • jsediv on 04/02/2025 - 18:15

        Possibly wooden

      ex-bourbon and ex-sherry barrels. I'm not a huge whisk(e)y nerd but the sweet bourbon flavours come through in a delicious but delicate way with this whisky.

      Will always be my favourite Japanese spirit!

  • fookos on 04/02/2025 - 18:15

    I’ve enjoyed a couple of bottles of this one. Strong drop. Apparently can no longer be called Japanese whisky due to new requirements. But it’s still the same drink.

    Should I Go get Nicks or just get it from Dan's ?

    • SYLTB on 04/02/2025 - 18:21

      One of my favourate drops, theres a sweet after taste to this one which makes u want to have another shot.

      • Lets Go Brandon on 04/02/2025 - 20:34

        I will always remember my first Nikka

    • mandelbrot on 04/02/2025 - 21:04

      Once you go Nikka, you don't go back

  • Savealopoulos on 04/02/2025 - 18:51

    $89 at Dans on special … wonder if they can price match in store when its on special?

    I’ve had this one a few times and I like it. I’d never bothered to look up what’s in it:

    40% single malts from the Miyagikyo and Yoichi distilleries, 60% Coffey grain spirit from Nikko stills aged for “around” 10 years. Married for 3-6 months in a number of different cask types; ex-bourbon barrels, ex-sherry butts, and refilled, recharred and remade hogsheads. Bottled at 51.4%.

    I’m usually not a fan of grain whiskies, but I like this one and it’s 60% grain.

  • James1990 on 04/02/2025 - 19:25

    Never tried but comments seems interesting enough, will buy one and see

  • lakes_8 on 04/02/2025 - 19:29

    Enjoyed this one when I went to the Yoichi distillery in Japan, the pick of the bunch was the Yoichi 10 year old though

  • Randolph Duke on 04/02/2025 - 19:47

    This is one my favourites in this price range, must resist.

  • mungas on 04/02/2025 - 20:15

    Interesting, I had this years ago and really wasnt impressed with the taste. I found it quite basic tbh. I've had numerous Highland whiskeys that I'd all rate over this. I mean I am comparing single malts vs a blended, the Nikka reminded me mostly of JW Black/Gold

  • Phonkmaster55 on 04/02/2025 - 20:18

    Asked for a bottle of this at Dan Murphy's.
    Got punched in the face before I could finish my sentence.

  • Cheapsize on 04/02/2025 - 20:56

    Definitely add water. One of the best and a great price.

    Very slightly cheaper at the drink society: https://thedrinksociety.com.au/products/nikka-from-the-barre…
