Description

Nikka Super Rare Old is a legendary Japanese blended whisky, first launched in 1962 by Masataka Taketsuru as a personal tribute to his wife, Rita. It combines meticulously selected malt whiskies from Nikka's Yoichi and Miyagikyo distilleries, along with grain whiskies, to achieve a harmonious and smooth flavor profile. The whisky is bottled at 43% ABV and is known for its distinctive bottle shape, designed to evoke a whisky pot still. It has received accolades such as the World Whiskies Awards Best Japanese Blended (No Age Statement) in 2018 and an ISC Gold Medal in 2008.

Smooth and velvety, offering a symphony of flavors including caramel, honey, vanilla, and gentle oak. Fruity notes of banana, apple, pear, and citrus intermingle with ginger, malt, and subtle spices. Some smoked Yoichi malt is also evident.
Finish
Medium to long, with lingering warmth and spiciness. Notes of banana, milk chocolate, pepper, and baking spices. Salty orange, dried fruits, and a classic sooty smoke note from Yoichi malt contribute to a rich and deep finish.
