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!

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.
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.
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!
