Bottled at 43% ABV in a distinctive square decanter-style bottle, it is designed for balance, roundness and softness, with fruit, honey and gentle toasted notes running through the blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the distillery\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNikka was founded in 1934 by Masataka Taketsuru, who studied whisky making in Scotland before returning to Japan. The company now works from two distilleries: Yoichi on the northern island of Hokkaidō, and Miyagikyo in the hills of Honshū. Each has its own character, and Nikka’s blenders combine them with grain whisky to create its blended styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow it’s made\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYoichi malt is distilled in pot stills heated by direct coal fire, while Miyagikyo uses steam heating for a gentler, fruitier spirit. Nikka’s Coffey still supplies the grain whisky. Maturation takes place mainly in ex-American oak and ex-sherry casks, and the components are then blended by Nikka’s team for a rounded, soft result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Apple, apricot and other white-fleshed fruits, with plenty of honey, a hint of chocolate and candied orange peel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pastry-like vanilla sweetness set against dark chocolate and citrus zest, including tangerine and orange.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lightly toasted notes balance a fruity bitterness, ending on vanilla sweetness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to enjoy it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNikka Tailored is suggested neat or over ice, which lets the fruit and honey come through without diluting the delicate sweetness.
