Nikka From The Barrel celebrates 40 years as a cult-favorite expression. To commemorate the occasion, Nikka Whisky has crafted a limited three-bottle set featuring Nikka From The Barrel Extra Marriage, Malt Pieces of the Barrel, and Grain Pieces of the Barrel, offering a deconstruction of the acclaimed whisky into its component blends.

Named Whisky Advocate's #1 Whisky of the World in 2018, Nikka From The Barrel has become one of the most popular Japanese spirits since its debut in 1985. The complex blending and marrying of that unique combination is the secret behind the expression’s rich flavor.

In turn, Nikka From The Barrel Extra Marriage features double the marriage time – a total of six months of marrying in used casks – which further harmonizes the blend for even richer flavor.

Malt Pieces of the Barrel and Grain Pieces of the Barrel are two key blends that give Nikka From The Barrel its distinctive character. When combined, the blend of malt whiskies and the blend of grain whiskies – each married in barrel for six months – result in Nikka From The Barrel Extra Marriage.
