The Nikka Limited 700ml 48% [Limited Edition] A culmination of old and new blenders' techniques

The Nikka Limited: A Crystallization of Nikka's History and Craft, Woven by Past and Present Chief Blenders

Nikka Whisky's traditional blending techniques are a source of immense pride. With the theme of "succession," this supreme blended whisky, a collaborative creation by former Chief Blender Hiromi Ozaki and current Chief Blender Junji Iseki, has been released in limited quantities. This is an extremely rare bottle, with only 8,000 units available worldwide, including Japan.

Key Feature: "Succession of Craft" where the Visions of Past and Present Blenders Intersect

This product delicately layers carefully selected whiskies that hold special meaning for both blenders. The blend incorporates malt from the Miyagikyo Distillery, dear to former Chief Blender Ozaki, and aged whisky from the Ben Nevis Distillery, which is celebrating its 200th anniversary. It also includes malt from the Yoichi Distillery, a favorite of current Chief Blender Iseki, as well as whiskies from Nikka's Mojiko factory in Kyushu and the Satsuma Tsukasa Distillery. In essence, the diverse history of Nikka itself is blended into this exquisite whisky.

Flavor and Aroma Characteristics

Fruity sweetness harmonizes exquisitely with bitter notes reminiscent of dark chocolate. The barrel-derived fragrance adds depth, characterized by a gentle richness from peat and a long, pleasant sweet finish. The black bottle and Washi paper label express the profound, multi-layered world of blending.

Recommended Enjoyment

First, enjoy it straight to appreciate the complex and delicate layers of whiskies crafted by the two blenders. Afterward, adding a small amount of water to experience the opening of the aroma also creates a luxurious moment. It is perfect for accompanying quiet, sophisticated times, much like spending an evening at an authentic bar.
