With distilleries in both Yoichi (Hokkaido) and Miyagikyo (Sendai), Nikka draws on two distinct climates and production styles: Yoichi’s bold, peaty, coastal spirit and Miyagikyo’s elegant, fruit-forward, delicately perfumed whisky. The result is a portfolio that showcases the full breadth of Japanese craftsmanship, from rich single malts to beautifully balanced blends like Taketsuru Pure Malt and the signature Nikka From the Barrel. A Nikka tasting isn’t just a whisky lineup — it’s a journey through the origins, philosophy, and evolution of Japanese whisky itself.
This 2.5hr tasting experience will guide you through some of the best this iconic distillery has to offer.
Guests will receive a Nikka Days Whisky cocktail on arrival and sample 5 Nikka whiskies, each paired with specially selected food items from Arcadia’s menu.
Date: Tuesday 7th April 2026
Time: 7:00pm - 9:30pm
Nikka Days Whisky cocktail on arrival

Whisky 2
Miyagikyo Single Malt - Elegant, floral and fruit-forward. Miyagikyo is Japanese whisky at its most graceful, offering lifted aromatics and a velvety palate that’s pure sophistication.

Whisky 3
Taketsuru Pure Malt - A seamless marriage of Yoichi’s backbone and Miyagikyo’s finesse. Taketsuru is balanced, expressive and effortlessly drinkable, embodying the heart of the Nikka house style.

Whisky 4
Nikka Coffey Grain - Silky, sweet and dangerously drinkable. Coffey Grain shows off Nikka’s signature column stills with a lush, creamy whisky that converts non-whisky drinkers on the spot.

Whisky 5
Nikka From the Barrel - It comes in a small package but FTB is big, bold and beautifully balanced. This cult favourite delivers cask-strength intensity wrapped in caramel, spice and impeccably smooth Japanese precision.
