Description

The Nikka whisky company was founded in 1934 by Masataka Taketsuru, with the creation of his Yoichi distillery on the island of Hokkaido.

Historical context
The 'Selection' blend made its debut in 1987 and was produced in the 1990s.
Special release
Initially on the Japanese market until the end of 1999.
Allocation
Japanese market
Nose
Complex, with trademark Nikka aromas of bubblegum, white chocolate, brewed tea leaves, incense, and a slight sarsaparilla syrup note. Floral and vanilla notes are also present.
Palate
Extremely smooth and silky, with liquorice, malty tones, robust cereals, and vegetal notes like peppered bean shoots and green olives. Floral notes, fresh cut grass, honey sweetness, and a peppery character are also detected.
Finish
Short-lived but pleasant, with an initial explosion of liquorice followed by mild black pepper and bean sprouts, rolling out to grain and cereals. A hint of bitter oak, more spiciness, fresh cut grass, and a subtle hint of smoke at the back.
