Nikka Whisky From the Barrel Extra Marriage Limited Edition 40th Anniversary

To commemorate the 40th anniversary of From the Barrel's debut, Nikka is releasing a limited edition "From the Barrel Extra Marriage." This expression features double the marriage time—up to 6 months of marrying in oak—resulting in a whisky with richer flavor and a longer finish.

 - The secret behind its gorgeous flavor is the unique combination of complex blending, higher ABV 51.4% and secondary aging process known as "marriage.” 

• The complex formula is created by blending more than 100 different batches of malt and grain whiskies. After blending, the whisky is filled into used barrels and matured for up to 6 more months. This "marriage" process harmonizes all components in the formula, resulting in a mellow taste. 
• Nose: Soft and mellow oak aroma. Rich chocolate, ripe fruit and vanilla sweetness, refreshing orange peel, and malt sweetness. o Palate: Rich and full-bodied. Bold flavors with a smooth, mellow texture and fine oak tannins. o Finish: Mild barrel aroma, woody and bitter aftertaste. Gentle oak aroma with a subtle bitterness on the long finish.
