Nikka Whisky – Deconstructing a Masterpiece
The components. The marriage. The whisky you know.
Joining us from Japan, Emiko Kaji, Nikka’s Global Education and PR Lead, brings a rare opportunity to Whisky Abbey: a chance to taste the components and explore the blending stages behind one of Japanese whisky’s most recognisable creations.
First released in 1985, Nikka From The Barrel brings together malt and grain whiskies in a carefully considered balance of flavour, texture and complexity. This interactive experience takes you inside that process, exploring:
- Grain Whisky Components
- Malt Whisky Components
- The Blend Before Marriage
- The Blend After More Than Three Months of Marriage
- Nikka From The Barrel
Emiko will guide you through what each component contributes and how the blend develops as the whiskies spend time together before bottling. Taste the building blocks, follow their transformation and revisit the finished whisky with a fresh perspective.
What gives the blend its richness? What changes during those months of marriage? With questions and discussion throughout, this Whisky Abbey Experience brings Nikka’s blending expertise into your glass – piece by piece.
You must have an Abbey ticket for the day of the Event to attend.
