Japanese whisky and global distilling expertise brought to you by {name}

Clémence Viault

Nikka Discovery Series Vol. 3 "The Grain Whisky" Is Here In 2023.

Japanese whisky giant Nikka has been on the countdown to their 90th Anniversary which will happen in 2024, doing so through their annual Discovery Series, with each volume in the series intended to give fans a peek at Nikka's behind-the-scenes experiments.

This gives their distilleries the flexibility to play around with a variety of different styles than the usual. In 2021, the first volume saw a peat switcheroo with a non-peated Yoichi and a peated Miyagikyo, and in 2022 the second volume saw yeast become the main theme with their "Aromatic Yeast" interpretations of both Yoichi and Miyagikyo single malts.

In 2023, the third volume of the series will see the release of a somewhat often overlooked yet highly critical battleground for the Japanese whisky landscape - grain whisky with Nikka "The Grain".

It is bottled at 48% ABV. A total of 10,000 bottles will be released for the domestic Japan market with another 10,000 bottles released internationally.

As a quick recap, grain whisky has been a hot topic with Japanese whisky makers because of the looming new Japanese whisky labelling regulations which will be activated in 2024, requiring Japanese whiskymakers to produce their whiskies entirely in Japan in order to use the haloed term "Japanese whisky" on their bottle labels.

And yet few whiskymakers have grain whisky capabilities - grain whisky often being seen as key to making a good blended whisky by providing a more neutral canvas for single malts to be married together cohesively.

Japanese-made Grain Whisky is a hot commodity.
