Nikka Whisky Western Knight 西洋騎士 Case & Decanter & 6 shot glasses (Armored Knight 鎧 甲冑) - no whisky This remarkable item is the NIKKA WHISKY Armour Decanter, an ornate bottle case crafted in the majestic image of a medieval 西洋騎士(Western Knight). Produced by Nikka Whisky Co., Ltd. as a special edition collectible, it merges the spirit of Scottish whisky heritage with European noble artistry. The Golden Era of Collectibles The Armour Knight Decanter was released between the 1970s and the early 1980s. These pieces were highly sought-after gifts and commemorative items, marking an era when Japanese whisky makers celebrated their deep ties to traditional European distilling. The exact release period is often a mystery, adding to their legendary status among collectors. Design and Structure The exterior is a highly detailed, elaborate design of European knight's armor. Inside this striking ceramic or metallic-looking outer case, a delicate glass bottle of whisky was originally housed, often accompanied by six matching shot glasses. The full ensemble transforms the whisky bottle into a powerful, decorative sculpture. ＜Important Information＞ [Shipping Time] We usually ship within a few business days after receiving payment.
