Description
48% ABV — A Bolder Japanese Whisky
Most Japanese blends sit at 40%. Nikka Frontier is bottled at 48%, and those eight extra points change the drink: more intensity, more body, and enough structure to survive a highball without disappearing into the soda.
It is built from carefully selected malt and grain whiskies, including peated stock from Nikka's own distilleries — so there is a wisp of smoke underneath the smoothness Japanese whisky is known for.

How to Serve
Neat, over ice, or as a premium highball — and the highball is where the 48% earns its keep. At standard strength a whisky thins out against soda; this one holds its shape.
One part whisky, three parts cold soda, tall glass packed with ice, stirred once.
How It Differs From Nikka From The Barrel
Both are higher-strength Nikka blends in 500ml bottles. From The Barrel is 51.4% and married in cask again after blending — denser and more intense. Frontier is 48% and more approachable, with a peated edge. Frontier is the better highball; From The Barrel is the better neat pour.
