Nikka From The Barrel Review
Though fairly timid compared to some other categories, this bottle’s 51.4 percent ABV content is around as high as it gets in Japanese whisky. Made using a blend of numerous malt and grain whiskies, this expression has a bold, peppery profile that leans heavily into banana chips, caramel, and vanilla. Buy this for the bourbon drinker in your life.
