Day 23 - Nikka The Grain - Dare To Dram Whisky Advent Calendar

Adam samples the twenty-third bottle from this year's Dare To Dram Advent Calendar - a rare and unique grain whisky from Nikka!

I really enjoyed this, Adam! Lovely, velvety feel on the tongue. All very favourable notes and flavours coming from the sweeter grains. This is a very approachable whisky, and I need to pay Nikka more attention. I attended a Master Class a couple of years ago at Whisky Fest, and a tasting last year here with their North American and International Rep's. They had brought a mixologist from Owl&Rooster, and the spirits plus cocktails were exceptional. I keep forgetting how complete their game is. Thanks for this one!

Very floral on the nose, and floral on the tongue as well, but with a real dose of shochu funk! Very nice indeed 👍

OMG how have I missed this one? Granted, I would not have been drawn to the grain whisky label. A nice light dram.

I do like a Nikka! The nose had spice, malt and vanilla. The balance on the palate was very nice with all the notes found when nosing it.

Tasty! Sadly doesn’t hold a candle to the legendary pour of SMWS G12.1 you shared with me earlier this year. (11yr Nikka Grain)

Good but not as good as day 22!
