Nikka Whiskey From The Barrel 500ml

Nikka From the Barrel is a blend of malt and grain whiskies in a distinctive squat 500ml bottle, bottled at 51.4%.

Nikka says it was created to deliver the richness of whisky 'from barrels' that blenders usually taste. WhiskyCast notes malt and grain from Miyagikyo and Yoichi.

Whisky Advocate notes the 51.4% strength was chosen for flavor impact rather than because it is barrel proof.
