    Producer

    The Nikka distillery is located in the Hokkaido region of Japan. It is surrounded by picturesque landscapes, majestic mountains, and pristine nature. The water quality, essential to whisky production, comes from the crystal-clear springs in the surrounding hills. This region is known for its climatic variations, which influence the aging of the spirits, giving each bottle a unique character. Taketsuru's passion for distillation and his Scottish heritage are evident in every sip, making Nikka a key player on the international whisky scene.

    Owner and history

Their dedication to the art of distillation and their passion for whisky result in products of exceptional quality. The Nikka team is committed to respecting tradition while constantly striving to innovate and improve its methods. This family philosophy, rooted in respect for the land and the ingredients, ensures that every bottle of Nikka From The Barrel reflects a rich history and unparalleled craftsmanship.

    Vinification and aging

    Nikka From The Barrel is crafted with meticulous expertise. The grains are carefully selected and fermented before being distilled in copper pot stills. Aging takes place in oak barrels that previously held bourbon and sherry, adding a layer of complex flavors. Each barrel is then carefully blended to create a perfect balance of strength and finesse. The barrel bottling method preserves the intensity of the aromas, offering a unique and authentic tasting experience.
