Frontier Blended Malt 48% ABV

About

Nikka Frontier is a distinctive Japanese whisky that embodies the tradition and innovation of the Nikka distillery. Produced at the Yoichi Distillery in Hokkaido, this whisky marks the 90th anniversary of Nikka, paying homage to the founder Masataka Taketsuru who shaped the Japanese whisky industry. At 48% ABV, this whisky is rich in character, offering a modern twist on classic Japanese whisky traditions. Nikka Frontier is characterized by its smoky flavor, thanks to the heavily peated malt whisky included in its blend. The nose opens with sweet oak and bright citrus notes, featuring hints of orange and lemon. On the palate, it is buttery with nutty notes, stone fruits, and raisins, complemented by a touch of honey and floral hints. The finish balances smokiness with a subtle spice mix, providing a complex and satisfying experience for whisky enthusiasts.
