Nikka - 17 Year Old (The Blend Of Nikka) 66cl

Nikka 17 Years Old “The Blend” (Maltbase Whisky) is a blended whisky presented in the distinctive 660ml format, offering a slightly different angle on mature Nikka than the more commonly seen single malts and pure malts. At 17 years old and bottled at a confident 45% ABV, it’s positioned as an elegant, well-balanced Japanese blend with enough maturity to bring depth, polish and a long, composed finish.

Why This Bottle Is Worth Bidding On
- Age-stated Nikka blends are increasingly collectable, especially in less common formats like the 660ml “Maltbase” bottlings.
