Description

This Nikka Gold & Gold Gift Pack is a Japanese Blended Whisky, often released as a 'Samurai Edition' with a distinctive bottle design featuring a removable samurai helmet and armor. It is a blend of malt and grain whiskies from Nikka's Yoichi and Miyagikyo distilleries, matured in oak casks, including ex-bourbon and sherry casks. Originally launched in 1968, this no-age-statement whisky was often a travel retail exclusive in Japan. The gift pack typically includes a presentation box and sometimes an ice bucket.
