Nikka Whisky From The Barrel 40th Anniversary Limited Edition

Crafted to mark four decades of excellence, Nikka Whisky From The Barrel 40th Anniversary Limited Edition is a tribute to Japan’s mastery of blending. Drawing from over 100 casks of malt and grain whiskies sourced from Nikka’s iconic Yoichi and Miyagikyo distilleries, this expression is double-married for exceptional harmony and depth.

Bottled at 51.4% ABV, it delivers the balance and intensity that made “From The Barrel” an international benchmark—now elevated for collectors and connoisseurs. The aroma reveals layers of beeswax, caramelized pear, candied orange, and a faint hint of smoke. The palate unfolds with honeyed malt, roasted hazelnuts, toffee, cocoa, and a subtle whisper of oak spice. The finish lingers long with notes of dried apricot, vanilla cream, and elegant oak tannin.

Presented in a crystal decanter with minimalist Japanese design, this limited edition reflects Nikka’s unbroken pursuit of perfection—every detail honed, every drop deliberate.

Nose: Beeswax, caramelized pear, orange peel, and subtle smoke.

Palate: Honeyed malt, hazelnut, toffee, cocoa, and gentle oak spice.

Finish: Long, warm, and refined—vanilla cream, dried fruit, and elegant oak.

Pair with roasted duck glazed in plum sauce or seared wagyu to enhance the whisky’s sweet-spice balance. For dessert, dark chocolate torte or crème brûlée mirror its caramel and vanilla depth. Aged Gouda or Parmigiano-Reggiano amplifies the oak and malt harmony beautifully.
