Nikka Gold & Gold Samuria 750ml

Nikka Gold & Gold Samurai is a striking special edition blended whisky that marries tradition with artistry, coming in an eye-catching 750ml bottle. Adorned with a removable metallic samurai armor and helmet, this enchanting presentation pays homage to both Japanese culture and the rich history of Nikka. Dubbed the “Shirobin” or “White Bottle,” its all-black label transports you back to the vintage era of the 1970s when the original Gold & Gold expression made its debut.

The whisky itself shines with a vibrant amber hue, revealing medium to thick legs as it settles. The nose offers a captivating journey, starting with a dry, malty profile that quickly gives way to delightful sweet undertones. Notes of toffee, vanilla, and softly spiced ginger hint at the complexity within, while echoes of warmth reminiscent of Christmas emerge with brandied dried fruits and light cake nuances.

On the palate, Nikka Gold & Gold showcases a lovely smoothness that rounds out beautifully over time. A subtle hint of peat gracefully mingles with a medley of sweet spices, including cinnamon and ginger, alongside warm wood tingle sensations that linger at the back. The interplay of maltiness and pepper notes adds an engaging depth, creating a pleasant tasting experience.

As the whisky reaches its finish, it remains warm and inviting, with medium to long-lasting sensations that evoke sweet, soft spiciness and a slight dryness, leaving a memorable impression. With an alcohol content of 43%, this Japanese gem not only represents craftsmanship but also an unforgettably unique character that whisky lovers will appreciate. Enjoy this exquisite blend on its own or as a part of a sophisticated cocktail.
