Soft. Malty. Buttery. Hint of cedar Palate
Sweet. Very creamy and toffeeish, but light on the tongue. Very clean. Finish
Light. Cedary. Comment
An interesting idea, and it produces for Nikka a much sweeter style of whisky.
Jim Murray

Fresh and then sharply intense. Finish
Late arrival of drier vanilla, oaky tones and Java coffee. Comment
The best example of an almost unique style of blended whisky.
