Evaluation by way of drinking
Although there is a sense of alcohol, it is easy to drink. It has no peculiarities and is easy to drink. The sweetness, which is not found in other drinks, can be felt most firmly.
Recommendation [star-list number=4.5] 4.5
The fruity taste comes to the fore. The aftertaste is slightly bitter and well balanced. Best with a small amount of water added.
Recommendation [star-list number=4] 4
The smokiness comes out strongly. The sweetness is present at the beginning, but as the wine cools, the sweetness tapers off and the bitterness and oakiness come to the fore. Easy to drink and well balanced.
Recommendation [star-list number=4.5] 4.5
It is sweet like dark chocolate with just a hint of bitterness. If you make it just a little bit thicker, it tastes sweeter and tastier.
Recommendation [star-list number=3.5] 3.5
It is mainly sour with a touch of bitterness. It also has an apple-like fruity flavor and is crisp, but there are many other brands that are better suited for soda.
Recommendation [star-list number=3] 3
Overall rating [star-list number=4] 4
."Black Nikka Specialis a personal choice for theBest straight or with a small amount of water added.I felt that this was the case.
This is because it is sweet and fruity in a way that other drinks are not, and the flavors themselves are easy to recognize.
Other websites and social networking sites say it is recommended to drink with soda, but I personally found it to be too sour and bitter, and it did not give this whiskey its original flavor and the sense of unity and lift that it has when combined with soda.
However, some people prefer this kind of taste, so it is difficult to make a recommendation on how to drink it.
Because the taste itself is better than the price,People who have drunk Scotch but not so much Japanese, or people who want to know the characteristics of Nikka's taste.are encouraged to drink it.
The first time I drank it, I wasn't that impressed, but when I drank it again after having had a variety of whiskies, I found it to be a very well-made whisky.
