Nikka From The Barrel Extra Marriage 40th Anniversary Limited Edition, 51.4%

Given an extra 3-month marrying period in oak at Nikka’s Tochigi Aging Cellar, this is gorgeous liquid with rich aromas of caramel, smoke, honeycomb, Reese’s peanut butter cups, lemongrass, fresh ginger, and a hint of peat bog. Baked citrus, toffee, zesty lemon, and honey flavors, it has more pungent peat smoke than the malt component, rounding out with malt, butterscotch, cocoa powder, and caramel popcorn.
