[Limited 1 Set] The Nikka Limited & Yamazaki 12 Year Old 700ml Japanese Whisky

[Limited to 1 Set] A "Two Extremes" Set of New and Old Techniques and Tradition, Telling the History of Japanese Whisky

Nikka Whisky and Suntory, two major manufacturers that lead the Japanese whisky industry. We have prepared two masterpieces, infused with their supreme techniques and passion, as a special limited-time offer of one set. From Nikka, there is the rare "The Nikka Limited," in which successive chief blenders connected their thoughts. From Suntory, there is the world-renowned single malt masterpiece, "Yamazaki 12 Year Old." This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime collection, allowing you to acquire both the "legacy" and "maturity" of Japanese whisky at once.

Key Features (Production Method and Background)

■ The Nikka Limited: "Technological Legacy" Woven by New and Old Blenders
This is a limited edition product co-created by former chief blender Hiromi Ozaki and current chief blender Junji Iseki, themed on the "legacy" of Nikka's traditional blending techniques. In addition to malts from "Miyagikyo" and "Yoichi," it meticulously blends the diverse history of Nikka, including aged spirits from "Ben Nevis," which celebrates its 200th anniversary, and even unblended spirits from the Moji factory and Satsuma Tsukasa Distillery. Only 4,000 bottles were produced in Japan, making it an extremely rare item.

■ Yamazaki 12 Year Old: "Pinnacle of Maturity" Cultivated by Japan's Oldest Distillery
This single malt was created to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Yamazaki Distillery, which was established in 1923 as Japan's first whisky distillery. Based on the sweet vanilla aroma derived from white oak cask malt whiskies, sherry cask and Mizunara cask whiskies are hidden as secret ingredients. It is a brand worthy of being called "Japan's representative," designed to suit the delicate palate of the Japanese, featuring a complex aroma with multiple layers.

Flavor and Aroma Characteristics

• The Nikka Limited: Harmonious balance of fruity sweetness and a bitter flavor reminiscent of dark chocolate. It offers a fragrant, barrel-derived aroma, a gentle richness of peat, and a long, pleasant sweet finish.
• Yamazaki 12 Year Old: Ripe fruit aroma and vanilla notes. The palate is mellow, with a lingering hint of sweetness in the aftertaste, elegantly creating a relaxed and luxurious experience.

Recommended Ways to Enjoy

For both, we recommend starting with them neat to fully savor the complex and delicate layers of unblended spirits envisioned by the blenders and craftsmen. Afterwards, adding a small amount of water will further open up the aroma, revealing a different facet. It promises a blissful time, whether as a companion for quiet, refined moments or as a special gift for a loved one.
