A bright and approachable whisky from one of Japan’s most respected producers, Nikka Days blends delicate grain and lightly peated malt whiskies from both the Miyagikyo and Yoichi distilleries. Designed for everyday enjoyment without sacrificing character, it delivers smoothness, balance, and subtle complexity in equal measure. Whether sipped neat or mixed into a highball, Nikka Days is a versatile expression of Japanese craftsmanship.
Nose: Floral and fruity, with notes of white blossom, fresh pear, and lemon peel. Gentle maltiness and a whisper of smoke provide elegant depth.
Palate: Creamy and soft on the tongue, with flavours of vanilla sponge cake, orchard fruits, and a touch of cereal sweetness. A trace of smoke lingers in the background, offering structure without overpowering.
Finish: Clean and medium in length, leaving behind gentle hints of honey, toasted nuts, and light oak.
Serving Suggestion
Ideal for relaxed sipping or in a chilled Japanese-style highball with soda water and ice. Its softness and subtlety also make it a perfect pairing for sushi, tempura, or light snacks.
Collector’s Note
Though positioned as an everyday dram, Nikka Days has garnered praise from enthusiasts and bartenders alike for its craftsmanship and balance. A must-have for those exploring the elegance of Japanese whisky at an accessible price point.
