90 Years of Nikka: Five Limited Editions Celebrate Japanese Whisky Heritage

Special Anniversary Bottlings from Nikka – A Collector’s Dream Without the Price Tag

In celebration of 90 years of Japanese whisky craftsmanship, Nikka has unveiled five exclusive bottlings from its iconic distilleries, Yoichi and Miyagikyo, along with its beloved Coffey and From The Barrel expressions. Founded by Masataka Taketsuru on July 2, 1934, Nikka has become a cornerstone of the Japanese whisky world. Now, enthusiasts can toast this milestone with limited editions that are visually striking and offered at no extra cost.

Elegant Design Meets Collectible Appeal

Each of the five bottlings comes dressed for the occasion in creamy white collector’s packaging made of high-quality cardboard. These anniversary editions stand out with their refined look, making them ideal gifts or collectible highlights for any whisky lover. Despite the premium design, Nikka has kept prices unchanged—an enticing offer for both fans and collectors.

Maturation and Character: The Distillery Legacy in Every Drop

Nikka's anniversary whiskies reflect the unique styles of its two distilleries and iconic production methods:

• Yoichi Single Malt 90th Anniversary: A robust single malt matured in Sherry and New American Oak casks, distilled over coal fire, offering notes of peat smoke, salt, and rich oiliness.
• Miyagikyo Single Malt 90th Anniversary: A delicate and floral whisky made in steam-heated stills in the mountains of Sendai, aged in Sherry and New American Oak casks.
• Coffey Malt & Coffey Grain 90th Anniversary: Distilled in traditional Coffey stills, the malt version offers a full-bodied, malty character, while the grain is fruity and exotic—both aged in American Oak.
• Nikka From The Barrel 90th Anniversary: A bold blend of over 100 malt and grain whiskies, bottled at 51.4% ABV and aged in Bourbon casks, maintaining the powerful identity it introduced in 1985.

A Toast to Tradition and Innovation

These special editions are not only a tribute to Nikka's founder and his pioneering vision but also a celebration of the brand’s enduring influence on global whisky culture. With premium presentation, rich historical roots, and accessible pricing, the Nikka 90th Anniversary series is a must-have for those who appreciate craft, heritage, and the spirit of Japanese whisky.
