Nikka Pure Malt Black is my favorite in Nikka Pure Malt Series. This one has a spectacular blend of fruits and peat. I really dig the combination.

Again, this bottle is not imported to the US and it is a 50cl as Nikka From The Barrel is in Europe.

This bottle sounds pretty simple but makes you feel a great balance of flavors throughout the experience. From the series, Red is fruit forward, White is peat dominated. We can say that Nikka Pure Malt Black is certainly a blend of both worlds.

The worst thing about this whisky can be the coloring they use.
