Nikka Days is an easy-drinking blended whisky from Japanese whisky company Nikka, created from grain and very lightly-peated single malt whiskies and showing soft orchard fruit, vanilla custard and biscuity flavours - an aperitif whisky.
Nikka Days is conspicuously labelled as Nikka Whisky rather than Japanese whisky, so it's safe to assume that this is what we'd now refer to as a world blend.

Tasting Notes
Official Tasting Notes
Nose: Apples, pears and strawberry liquorice. Perfumed notes of daiginjo sake and white melon. Grainy flavours develop, with freshly crushed barley and malting floor sweetness floating out of the glass. White chocolate and a sprinkling of lemon zest sit at the back.
Palate: Creamy and soft, with grapes and apples on top of toffee and candied lemon. Delicate white chocolate notes are joined by darker liquorice hints and a tiny touch of barrel char smokiness. Right at the back is a bowl of apples, freshly peeled and sliced.
Finish: Lemon zest and buttery biscuits. Barley sugar sweetness to leave grain and spice.
Comment: Delicate and fragrant at first, with more weight hiding behind. A great all-rounder with enough complexity to sip and enough oomph to shine in a mixed drink.

An exciting deep rich brown coloured liquid.
A compote of fruit together with dried grapes is lovely on the tongue.
Nicely sweetened syrup is evident too.
Invested in two bottles but will be ordering a third.
Great warming malt enjoyed by two. (One aka Pig)
I know I bought a cask strength whisky but was expecting a nice taste but the strength overpowered the flavor, I found it harsh, but I am not a whiskey conasur. I also bought the secret Orkney signatory cask strength and that was very nice.
