The brand is known for its two distilleries, the maritime-style Yoichi and the more delicate Miyagikyo, which produce a wide range of single malt and blended whiskies. Nikka blends Scotch-inspired techniques with Japanese precision, creating whiskies renowned for their complexity, balance, and unique character influenced by their distinct environments.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan data-processed=\"true\" class=\"\" data-wiz-rootname=\"ohfaMd\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e40% ABV\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e70cl\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nikka","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53938199134546,"sku":"NIKBLACK2012","price":72.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1052\/9737\/9666\/files\/4482763112_b9e4b85c-059a-4343-9e85-1ce84aea06bc.jpg?v=1771921735","url":"https:\/\/whiskysituation.co.uk\/products\/nikka-black-8-year-old-japanese-blended-whisky-2012-70cl","provider":"Whisky Situation","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
