In 1985, Japan's whisky pioneers Nikka released a distinctive blended whisky in a compact, square bottle that would become a true icon over the decades: Nikka From the Barrel.

From the outset, Nikka opted for a higher percentage by volume for its From the Barrel in order to convey the full flavor and richness of a whisky - "straight from the barrel", so to speak. Once conceived as an insider tip for connoisseurs, one of the world's most popular whiskies from Japan today is characterized by its strength and precision. Over 100 different components of malt and grain whisky are masterfully blended for From the Barrel and then matured together for several months. Nikka doubled this "marriage period" for the 40th anniversary of its flagship product. And that's what makes this limited edition so special!

Taste: Lively and distinctive with notes of sage, smoke and lemon zest. Cocoa powder, cereals and jam follow, followed by dry, mineral, salty peat.

Finish: Dynamic and silky with flavors of barley sugar candy, bitter almond and candied ginger. Remarkable depth.

About the manufacturer

Nikka Whisky Distilling Co. Ltd. was founded in 1934 by Masataka Taketsuru, also known as the father of Japanese whisky. He was the first Japanese to study the fine art of whisky making in Scotland. His family had already owned a sake brewery since 1733 and he actually wanted to follow in his father's footsteps. However, he became fascinated by whisky and was drawn to Scotland, where he became a student of chemical sciences at the University of Glasgow. Through numerous apprenticeships and internships in various renowned distilleries in Scotland, he learned the craft of whisky first-hand from masters and was trained as a Master Blender. With this knowledge, he returned to Japan and opened his first distillery, Yoichi, on the island of Hokkaido in the early 1930s, where traditional Scottish distillation methods are still celebrated today. Taketsuru opened the second Nikka distillery, Miyagikyo, in 1969.
The first Nikka whisky was launched in 1940. Taketsuru's aim was to produce high-quality Japanese whisky and to educate the Japanese to become whisky connoisseurs. He never lost this ambition and managed to create complex whiskies with delicate notes that still make Nikka whiskies so appealing today. After his death in 1979, his adopted son Takeshi Taketsuru took over the management of the company, and today Nikka is part of the Asahi Group.
