To mark the 40th Anniversary of Nikka From the Barrel, the Japanese firm has released a boxed set of 3 whiskies. The set includes the From The Barrel Extra Marriage (created to mark the 40th Anniversary) as well as the individual Malt and Grain components of the Blend.
Producer Description
"This special 3-bottle set celebrates 40 years of Nikka From the Barrel by featuring the two non-chill-filtered cask-strength components, the Grain Pieces of the Barrel and Malt Pieces of the Barrel, alongside the final "Extra Marriage" blend. The Malt offers a rich, structured character with notes of ripe apricot, sweet vanilla, and mellow peat, while the Grain is sweet and smooth, with hints of banana and bitter-sweet marmalade. The Extra Marriage is a rich and full-bodied whisky with complex layers of chocolate, orange peel, and mellow oak tannins, culminating in a long, gently bitter finish."

Producer Description
"To commemorate the 40th anniversary of From the Barrel's debut, Nikka is releasing a limited edition "From the Barrel Extra Marriage." This expression features double the marriage time —up to 6 months of marrying in oak—resulting in a whisky with richer flavor and a longer finish. The secret behind its gorgeous flavor is the unique combination of complex blending, higher ABV 51.4% and secondary aging process known as "marriage.
"The complex formula is created by blending more than 100 different batches of malt and grain whiskies. After blending, the whisky is filled into used barrels and matured for up to 6 more months. This "marriage" process harmonizes all components in the formula, resulting in a mellow taste."

This whisky was featured on Day 21 of our 2024 KWM Not An Advent Calendar Tastings! You can read more about the whisky here.
Note: Nikka's own website notes that this bottle does not meet the criteria to be called a Japanese Whisky. The good news is that might mean it also contain Ben Nevis Single Malt, as Scotland's Ben Nevis Distillery is also owned by Nikka.
Nikka's venerated from the Barrel has been a staple of our whisky shelves for years and will hopefully remain so. This creation from Nikka is a blend of grain and malt from multiple distilleries owned by the company. It is always bottled at 51.4% ABV after the components are married in refill casks for up to half a year to marry together and become a cohesive whole.

From the Producer: “Produced from a blend of Miyagikyo and Yoichi single malts and a single grain whisky, NIKKA FROM THE BARREL embodies the expertise of the distillery’s master blenders. Intense, round, and generous, this ambitious, powerful, controlled, high-alcohol blend is acknowledged for its originality. This is a bold whisky. It seizes you and seduces you. It asserts its own style.

This is a curious little gem from Japan, a single grain whisky, distilled in a Coffey still and bottled at 45%. There is no age statement, but who needs it, this is a fresh, clean and very tasty whisky! Formerly and exclusive whisky to KWM in Canada
An unusual but very tasty Japanese Single Grain whisky.

It is unusual to see single malt whisky distilled in a column (AKA continuous or Coffey) still, but here you have it and the result is superb. Formerly exclusive to KWM in Alberta, this is one hell of an interesting dram, soft, layered and very complex.
The sugar yield of malted barley compared with corn and wheat is not favourable, especially when you take the cost of malting and corn subsidies into account. So the Nikka Whisky Co. must have some other designs than simply creating bulk whisky by running barley through their Coffey stills.
