Nikka All Malt

This whiskey is not too bad but it is not great either. A bit rough and lacks good finish.

I am afraid I will have to disagree most of the reviews.... it is totally out of balance. Way tooo much coconut,,, and coconut,,, and coconuts.... Just not my type... It is just a boring

Definitely one to try! This was my first Japanese whisky and a great introduction. Very drinkable, and an interesting alternative to scotch, add a little water and the falvours develop into something quite unique harking back to its cherry blossom origins. A good price too!

Excellent. Not as sweet as some reviews may suggest. It's spayside-y and it's good. Not as good as "from the barrel" but still - very good.

Enough with all the price, tax, shipping conversations; this is simply really good whisky and should be enjoyed by all. Better than a lot of Scotch that I have had.

The UK duty on a 75cl bottle of spirit at 40% is £7.14. Then you add on VAT too. By the time you factor in shipping costs etc., I would say this is at an equivalent price to the supermarket in Taiwan. It's the government that takes the rest of the money.Plus at £21.95 a "quality" UK whisky is actually only slightly more expensive than the Japanese when you take off all the tax, and that small price difference probably has more to do with national distilling reputation than taste.

A really enjoyable Japanese whisky that is bursting with flavour and is well balanced. Really good value for money too. As for the earlier poster and his price remarks - yes it will be cheaper in Asia. Funnily enough Wild Turkey Rare Breed is cheaper in the US. Tax and distribution costs just might play a part in the UK retail price. Why on earth would TWE post the prices of other countries on their website. Good on you TWE Admin.

A full-flavoured, hot and very drinkable whisky.And my congratulations to TWE Admin for their response. Highly amusing.matt 13

Despite the rudeness, I have to agree with TWE Admin here. This is far from a 'cheap' whisky. It is filled with flavour, a mighty fine drink of a qaulity equal to, if not at times exceeding, Scottish whisky in the same price range.Alcohol in the U.K. is vastly, vastly, more expensive than it is in many places in the world, and that is especially true when compared to a place like Taiwan [which, I should mention, is not Japan and thus not the country of origin.]

I think the point that the 28th Aug poster was making is that this is a "cheap" rather than a "quality" whisky as the price misleadingly suggests. Your rather rude response is somewhat uncalled for, whatever happened to "the customer is always right" ?

Many thanks to the above poster for their valuable insight. We had no idea that a product might be cheaper in its country of origin than in a country on the other side of the world where little things like transport and administration costs (not to mention punitive duty and taxes) might be a factor. Bravo.

Like all the Japanese whisky in the UK, it's vastly more expensive than it should be. About eight quid in the supermarket in Taiwan. Not published, surprise surprise. BTW Yamazaki 12 yo is less than half your price in Taiwan too. It isn't a single malt either (This whisky).

its ace i bought it and drank the whole lot yum!
