Always interesting even if simplistic in design like Nikka Whisky' From The Barrel square glass bottle and minimalist label comes the Nikka Whisky Gold & Gold a.k.a 'G & G' Samurai blended whisky in this exceptionally crafted armour. Available via the Duty Free Japanese market with a history back to 1968 when they wanted to attract the tourist purchases this whisky was situated below the premium offerings and is exceptional value. They have continued to produce this since in a revised version, and are seen as a great addition to anyones bar collection.
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. Tasting notes courtesy of Taste The Dram.
This Nikka Whisky Gold & Gold Samurai comes in a box with pourer, and instructions. The armour is made out of plastic (no longer metal) and adds real theatre to the bar.
