Nikka Single Malt Whisky Aged 10 Years

Size: 750ML Proof: 90 Product Description: Japanese Single Malt • Aged 10 Years • Distilled at the historic Yoichi Distillery (commonly associated with Nikka’s 10-year expressions) • A marriage of peated and unpeated malt • Aged in a mix of re-charred American oak, ex-bourbon, and sherry casks • Bottled at premium strength (varies by release). The Nikka 10 Year is a masterpiece of balance crafted in the seaside climate of Yoichi, where ocean air, cool temperatures, and traditional coal-fired stills create a whisky with unmistakable Japanese purity. A decade of aging in oak shapes this single malt into something refined yet expressive, where subtle peat meets orchard fruit, sherry depth, and a clean mineral structure. This is Japanese whisky at its best: thoughtful, layered, refined, and quietly powerful. Tasting Notes Nose Ripe pear, green apple, honey, sea breeze, toasted oak, malt sweetness, and a delicate whisper of smoke. A pure and elegant aromatic profile enriched by notes of almond and soft spice. Palate Silky and beautifully balanced. Notes of vanilla cream, dried apricot, citrus zest, barley sugar, sandalwood, light peat char, and subtle sherry-fruit undertones. Mid-palate reveals roasted nuts, malt biscuit, and coastal minerality. Finish Long, clean, and softly smoky lingering notes of oak, malt sweetness, light pepper, and stone fruit. A graceful, contemplative finish typical of Yoichi craftsmanship. Serving Suggestions Neat The ideal way to enjoy the refined balance between fruit, smoke, and oak. With a Few Drops of Water Enhances orchard fruit, citrus, and the hidden sherry-influenced layers. Signature Cocktail “The Hokkaido Highball” 2 oz Nikka 10 Year 4–6 oz chilled sparkling water Lemon peel Build gently over ice and express the lemon peel. A clean, refreshing highball that celebrates the whisky’s subtle smoke and bright fruit. Why It Matters Aged Japanese single malts are becoming increasingly rare and 10-year expressions even more so.
