Nikka From The Barrel is soft but richly flavoured. The secret behind its gorgeous flavour is the unique combination of complex blending, higher ABV 51.4% and “marriage” process. The complex formula is created by blending more than 100 different batches of malt and grain whiskies. After blending, the whisky is filled into used barrels and matured for another few months. This “marriage” process harmonises all components in the formula, resulting in a gorgeous smooth, mellow taste.
 
By the update in the regulation, Nikka from the barrel can no longer be named Japanese whisky.
