Nikka’s range of blended, pure malt and single malt whiskies will be exciting new discoveries for any Whisky enthusiast. Japanese whisky is slowly becoming on par with Scotland’s famous distilleries among many of the leading whisky experts. Nikka Pure Malt White is the result of careful craftsmanship and whisky blending. It is the most peated of the Pure Malt collection and an exciting blend that will delight peat lovers. One should never miss the opportunity to try a Nikka whisky neat, in an appropriate tasting glass in order to capture the full extent of the complexity and the unique profile each expression has to offer. Adding ice cubes to a fine whisky, however, is not at be seen as inappropriate in Japan. Ice cubes should be as large as possible, and the preferred option is one large block or ball of clear ice for a slow tasting experience. Japanese bartenders often hand-carve their ice for an unforgettable experience. The Finer Details Style – Whisky Country – Japan Size – 500ml ABV – 43%
