Nikka Days Blended Whisky

Product Description

Nikka Days: Whisky Designed for the Bright Side

Nikka Days was introduced in July 2020 as a whisky built specifically to highlight the bright, easygoing side of whisky drinking. "As the name suggests, Nikka Days has been developed for whisky lovers who appreciate fine drinks on any casual day," says Emiko Kaji, Nikka's international business development manager. "This elegant whisky can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, in a simple highball, or refreshing cocktail. We hope that Nikka Days will complement and elevate your day." It's a genuine entry point into the Nikka lineup, pulling together elements from across the brand's distilleries into one approachable pour.

How Nikka Days Is Made

This blend is structured around mellow, smooth Coffey Grain whisky and aromatic, non-peated Miyagikyo malt, with a touch of Coffey Malt whisky and Yoichi malt added to enhance brightness and body. That combination draws on nearly every style Nikka produces across its two distilleries, resulting in a genuinely complex blend built for easy, everyday drinking. It's bottled at 40% ABV, with sunny, cheerful packaging to match its style.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Soft maltiness, vanilla, mild summer fruits, and a touch of toasted oak.

Palate: Smooth and mild, with cinnamon, crème brûlée, browned butter, butterscotch, caramel, and citrus zest.

Finish: Light and easy, with lingering sweetness and gentle spice.

Food Pairings

The butterscotch and caramel character in Nikka Days pairs well with light appetizers like sushi and sashimi, or a fresh fruit salad. Its citrus notes also complement soft, mild cheeses.

Serving Suggestions

Nikka Days is built to be versatile: enjoy it neat to appreciate its delicate character, on the rocks for a smoother, chilled pour, or in a highball or Whisky Sour for a refreshing, easy-drinking cocktail.
