Nikka is one of the best-known Japanese whiskey companies. Its From the Barrel release is a special combination of the company's two distilleries, Miyagikyo and Yoichi, in which other grains are given a role in addition to malt, so that they can then be matured in bourbon barrels. The floral notes are accompanied by a little spice, orange peel and apricot, which are complemented by oak and vanilla.

This year's packaging again comes with an edgy and practical look, which still includes the usual two glasses + a spout.
