About This Whisky
Nikka filled this novelty decanter with Super Nikka blended whisky at 43% and titled it after the proverb "The pen is mightier than the sword". The unusual, almost futuristic bottle is the main attraction.
Nikka issued a number of design bottles for the Japanese gift market alongside its regular range, and this is one of the more unusual.
