Nikka Pure Malt Black Whiskey Tasting Notes
Nose: Earthy and chocolately, with herbaceous notes and peatsmoke, as well as sweet fruit.
Palate: A winning combo of dark chocolate and dark berry fruit, along with toffee and vanilla notes, bolstered by some well-defined peat.
Finish: Rich and strong, the smoke and spice lasting longest.
