Nikka Days has been developed for whisky lovers who appreciate fine drinks on any casual day, based on the concept "whisky for every day". Its round bottle and bright colored label visualize the taste profile of the whisky inside and enhance a vibrant mood. This whisky can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, in a simple highball or refreshing cocktail. Nikka Days will complement and elevate your day.
A delicate balance is achieved by the skillful blending of mellow grain whiskies and slightly peated malts. With impressive floral aromas, this expression offers an extremely silky mouthfeel and fruity flavors that rise and expand, leaving behind a delightful aftertaste.
Producer's Tasting Notes:
Nose: Apples, pears and strawberry liquorice. Perfumed notes of daiginjo sake and white melon. Grainy flavours develop, with freshly crushed barley and malting floor sweetness floating out of the glass. White chocolate and a sprinkling of lemon zest sit at the back.
Palate: Creamy and soft, with grapes and apples on top of toffee and candied lemon. Delicate white chocolate notes are joined by darker liquorice hints and a tiny touch of barrel char smokiness. Right at the back is a bowl of apples, freshly peeled and sliced.
Finish: Lemon zest and buttery biscuits. Barley sugar sweetness to leave grain and spice.
Comment: Delicate and fragrant at first, with more weight hiding behind. A great all-rounder with enough complexity to sip and enough oomph to shine in a mixed drink.
