Whiskies from 'Nikka'

Read the Whisky Magazine tastings notes for whiskies from Nikka.

• Miyagikyo 10 Years Old

Nose is more attractive than the palate. Lacks elegance and cohesion.

• Miyagikyou 1987, Cask No. 60236

How can whisky leave its signature behind that thick oak panelling? No chance.

• Miyagikyou 1987, Cask no. 89714

Another example of sherry domination. Where’s the balance?

• Miyagikyou 1991, Cask No. 117705

Quite a nice refreshing dram when generously diluted.

• Miyagikyou Single Cask Sendai, 1990

The orangey colour suggests some sherry. Nikka’s Sendai distillery has in this instance produced a nuttier, maltier style of whisky than Yoichi.

• Nikka 34 Years Old

Big and complex. Slightly drying but avoids excessive woodiness.

• Nikka All Malt 1989

An interesting idea, and it produces for Nikka a much sweeter style of whisky.

• Nikka Black 8 Years Old

Easy-going, well-balanced. To be enjoyed as a refreshment with water and ice.

• Nikka Single Malt Yoichi Non Aged

Not Yoichi at its most full-blooded and a little gawky but worth a look.

• Nikka Super

Easily drinkable. Very pleasant. Refreshing. Not especially complex.

• Nikka Tsuru

• Nikka Tsuru, 17 Years Old

The finish pulls it down. Other than that, very approachable and highly drinkable.

• Taketsuru 17 Years Old

The creamy notes n the nose suggest more sweetness on the palate. Oak speaks up.

• Taketsuru 21 Years Old Pure Malt
