Tasting Notes
Nikka Gold & Gold Samurai bottling is a blended whisky from the Yoichi distillery and comes with removable samurai armour and helmet.
Nikka Gold & Gold Samurai Armour & Helmet Blended Japanese Whisky is a special edition bottle. Comes with a removable samurai armour and helmet on the top of the bottle. This version is called “Shirobin” (White Bottle), though the label is all black. The design of the label is as it was back in the 1970’s when Nikka first launched its Gold & Gold expression. This bottle that doesn’t leave you indifferent. Love it or hate it, the Japanese always have something new and different up their kimono sleeve.
This is a blend of malt and grain whiskies, with fruity, floral, caramel, and sweet sweet brown sugar aromas.
The palate is nicely light, butter, biscuits, light spices, Christmas cake, and raisins. The finish is short to medium, berries, light spices, cinnamon and nuts.
