Nikka Whisky Distilling Company
35 Years Vintage Whisky
Japan
35 year old sherry cask bottled in 2005. Very rare bottling. Medium amber hue. On the nose, remarkably floral and sherried notes that are delicate rather than pungent. Clearly old and complex. On the palate, rich and deep, warming alcohol with high concentration of marzipan and nutty sherried flavours, elegant and not over powerful. The alcohol is only 43% abv so either there's a ton of angel share or it's been diluted on bottling. Seriously good.
