Nikka Persimmon Old Fashioned The grandfather of all cocktails meets the Japanese way of life. Persimmons, sometimes also known as sharon fruit, are a staple autumn fruit in Japan and make a flavourful twist to the traditional orange you would use to garnish an old-fashioned. Oranges are the Westerners’ fruit; bold colours and a very strong […]
2020 has been one of the most difficult and eventful years in recent memory, with the Covid-19 pandemic sweeping the globe and turning our day-to-day lives upside down. It has thrown up challenges that no one ever saw coming; from being locked in our homes week after week; to learning to enjoy socially distanced meetings […]
This week, we’re delighted to welcome a brand new expression from Japanese whisky legends, Nikka, into our online store, and we have to say, this is one of the most promising releases from the drinks giant in recent years. Plagued by the on-going whisky shortage, Nikka have struggled to keep up with demand for their […]
It’s Day 5 of our 10 day dekanta anniversary countdown, and today we’re honouring Nikka’s frst distillery.

Today, we’re looking at the Yoichi distillery, built in […]
It’s Day 3 of our 10 day dekanta anniversary countdown, and today we’re honouring one of Nikka’s two distilleries. Yesterday, we looked at Nagahama (if you missed that you can catch up right here), and we hope you all grabbed yourself a nice bottle at a discounted price. Today, we’re looking at Nikka Miyagikyo, the […]

2020 is now well underway and the start of the year has seen the usual projections, analysis and “What’s To Come In [insert year]” articles (we even have one of our own). The general consensus is that Japanese whisky is continuing to grow and that this will be a huge year for the industry, as […]
Despite the on-going whisky shortage, 2019 was a rather successful year for Japanese whisky. A number of huge milestones were celebrated, some great new expressions hit the market and Japanese whiskies scooped yet more awards on the international stage. Looking back, it was actually better than just “rather successful” and it was a privilege to […]
For a year that’s set to be a rousing one for Japanese whisky, 2020 has not started off quite as well as fans around the world would have hoped. We have now entered the decade in which Nikka say we should see an end to the dreaded whisky shortage, yet today we were served a […]
The Japanese whisky shortage has been covered in great detail over the last few years, with discontinuations of some of the most popular bottles from Suntory and Nikka making headline news. This was the result of the industry experiencing huge growth since the Yamazaki 12 Year Old picked up a Gold Award at the International […]
