Nikka All Malt Tasting note

By Miguel at 2011 Mar,16 in Tasting , Recommended , Nikka

“ A whirlpool of honey, toffee, spices, wood and fruits in your mouth. You can’t believe this is bottled just at 40% ABV. And look that price!”

In general, Nikka blended whisky is created from malt whisky made from barley malt in pot stills, and grain whisky made by distilling corn and other grains in a patent (Coffey) still. The main feature of the all-malt process is that top-quality barley malt is used instead of corn in the Coffey still, resulting in a whisky made entirely from malt. All-malt whisky, made from barley alone and blended from malts matured over long periods of time, is blessed with a deep scent and mellow taste.

This dram has a white-like color.

Nose (84): inexistent. sweet, fruity, honey, wood, spices, peach, salt. First nosing data is innacurate as the previous tasting sheet lacked of this field.

Palate (96): . sweet, honey, toffee, vanilla, fruity, great, wood, sherry, smoke. Bouquet data is innacurate as the previous tasting sheet lacked of this field.

Finish (88): no finish. honey, wood, a little smoky. Finish length is innacurate as the previous tasting sheet lacked of this field.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Nikka All Malt Pure and Rich with 89 points over 100.
