Nikka Discovery The Grain Whisky

Founded in 1934 by Suntory's first master distiller, Nikka has risen to become Japan's second largest distiller, producing a wide range of single malts as well as their impressive blended whisky range. In 1918, Masataka Taketsuru embarked alone on a long voyage to Scotland. In this distant land the secrets of whisky-making would be imparted to this young Japanese man.

The third chapter of the "Discovery" series initiated in 2021 on the eve of Nikka Whisky's 90th anniversary, this edition comes from the combination of grain whiskies designed in the Miyagikyo, Nishinomiya (discontinued in 1998), Moji and Satsuma Tsukasa distilleries. 

With a refreshing scent reminiscent of marmalade and cider, this whisky is woody and vanilla-like, but with a sweet, fragrant aroma of toasted grains or even cookies. On the palate it has the gentle spiciness of cinnamon, coupled with the sweetness of corn and a slight bittersweet, yet refreshing, after-taste.
