About this product
A whisky of character and contrast, where East meets West in a bottle of quiet power.
Crafted with elegance and intensity, Nikka From The Barrel is a masterful blend of over 100 different malt and grain whiskies from Nikka’s two distilleries: Miyagikyo and Yoichi. Married together and re-casked ("from the barrel") for harmony, this blend is celebrated worldwide for its rich complexity and unapologetic strength.
Despite its compact, minimalist bottle, there is nothing small about this whisky. Bursting with layers of dried fruit, spice, toasted oak, and sweet vanilla, it showcases the Japanese talent for precision blending — while nodding to the boldness of classic Scotch traditions. A cult favourite among bartenders, collectors, and connoisseurs alike.
Why we love it:
Nikka From The Barrel is a powerhouse in a small frame — delivering depth, balance, and a punchy 51.4% ABV. It’s complex enough for sipping, bold enough for cocktails, and always unforgettable.
