An unusual bottle presentation with removeable plastic samurai helmet and armour. Gold & Gold has been one of the mainstays of Nikka’s range of blended whiskies since its launch in 1968.
NOSE: Floral and sweet with soft perfume notes. There are some grassy, herbal notes coming through accompanied by a green mint as well.
PALATE: Light palate as well, with floral notes dominating with some vanilla sweetness. As the whisky sits in the glass, more pine and winter mint notes appear. Fresh cut lawn and grain notes. A slight citrus zest as well.
FINISH: A short, sweet finish that ends quite dry and with a splash of bitterness. The grassy and herbal notes continue, this time accompanied by black tea and more pine.
