Nikka Days

Here’s a blend that proves anyone who thinks blends are not brilliant are in fact b’llends. Bright and light, Nikka Days uses malt and grain whiskies from both Nikka’s Yoichi and Miyagikyo distilleries, and as a result transitions from the fruitier notes into a deeper, richer and very subtle peaty profile.

This is a great entry into the world of whisky at ÂŁ40, because it has a dose of all the core whisky components you’d expect in the best of single malts – from floral, to rich toffee, to smoke, ensuring it’s a safe bet for sipping and should satisfy any whisky drinker. But the flavours also thrive with the addition of soda, not to mention the surprising blend with Appletiser…. We’re seriously….
