Nikka 'Super' (43%, OB, +/-2008)
These bottles with very long necks are very clever as even when the level goes down a bit because of evaporation, the contact surface with air remains very small.
Colour: gold.
Nose: ah, this is much more expressive than the ‘Blend’, ‘Gold & Gold’ and ‘Kingsland’. Much more honeyed and fruity (dried figs), with also the same kind of waxiness. Also a little cardboard but the overall profile is very enjoyable. Gets smoky. Quality blended whisky.
Mouth: pretty much the same as the Kingsland’s, only a little smoother at the attack, and a little grassier after that.
Finish: maybe a little shortish but clean. Spicy baklavas.
Comments: a good blend. SGP:341 – 75 points.
