Nikka Northland Bottled 1970s 5cl

A miniature bottle of Nikka Northland, distilled and blended by The Nikka Whisky Distilling Co. Ltd. We estimate this was bottled in the 1970s.

Nikka Northland was first released in 1972 and was significant as the first Nikka whisky to use malt from Miyagikyo distillery. Until 1989, Japanese whisky was classified as 1st or 2nd grade. Northland was classified as 2nd grade as the alcohol content is 39% ABV.

This lot comes from the extensive collection of a Merseyside collector who began his hobby with bottles bought for guests as digestifs at private dinner parties in the early 1970s. His interest led to him advertising in the UK national newspapers, and buying and selling bottles as far afield as Australia, America and Ireland, with his last significant addition being a collection he purchased from Stoke On Trent in 1984.
