- Description
- The Nikka's 40-year-old blended whisky draws from the company's oldest stocks, reportedly including Yoichi distilled in the 1940s and Miyagikyo from the late 1960s, with grain making up just one-third of the blend. This carefully assembled Japanese blend represents decades of maturation and considered cask management.
