Description
The Nikka Super Nikka Whisky Rare Old 43% Vol. 0.7 l is one of the traditional blended whiskies from the Japanese house of Nikka and is considered a milestone in the history of the brand. This blend was developed at a time when Masataka Taketsuru - founder of Nikka and pioneer of Japanese whisky - was pursuing the goal of creating a particularly harmonious and accessible whisky that combined the elegance of Scottish tradition with the precision of Japanese craftsmanship. The Rare Old is based on a finely balanced blend of malt and grain whiskies that have undergone a long maturation process to create a smooth, round and multi-layered taste.
The character of Super Nikka stands for a gentle, fruity style, which is accompanied by clear wood accents, subtle spice and a hint of light smokiness. The fresh apple and pear tones combine with honey, vanilla and a warm oak profile, while the balanced structure clearly shows its classic, timeless signature. Since its introduction, the Rare Old has gained a special significance as one of the whiskies that have made a lasting impression on Japan's reputation as a producer of high-quality premium blends. At 43% vol., it is expressive, harmonious and pleasantly long-lasting - a blend that authentically reflects Nikka's history. (automated translation)
Tasting notes:
Color: Golden yellow.
Nose: Ripe apple, pear, light citrus notes, honey, vanilla, delicate oak, fine spices and a hint of smoke.

This blend harmonizes perfectly with mild chocolate desserts, buttery pastries or cream variations such as panna cotta, which elegantly absorb its fruity-sweet accents. Fine cheese selections, such as young Gouda or cream cheese, also go perfectly with its soft profile. Enjoyed neat or with a small splash of water, its harmonious structure is particularly clear. It is also suitable for classic whisky cocktails such as Whisky Highball or Old Fashioned, in which its fruity and slightly spicy aroma comes into its own for a long time. (automated translation)
