Nikka from the Barrel Extra Marriage 40th Anniversary

The Nikka From the Barrel Extra Marriage 40th Anniversary is a limited-edition release celebrating the 40th anniversary of the legendary 1985 blend. This Japanese whisky combines malt and grain whiskies from the Nikka distilleries Yoichi and Miyagikyo. Compared to the standard bottling, the maturation time after blending – the so-called "marriage phase" – has been doubled, resulting in a whisky that is even more harmonious, complex, and profound. Bottled at a robust 51.4% ABV, it offers an intense array of aromas, including vanilla, honey, ripe fruit, oak, spices, and a hint of peat. The taste is full-bodied, smooth, and long-lasting – an elegant, balanced blend that celebrates Nikka's heritage in a refined form.
