Black Nikka was launched in 1965 as Nikka's top-class blended whisky top-class at the time, that is. It was incredibly popular throughout the following decades, but in response to changing drinking habits, Nikka introduced a new, lighter version in 1997, the 'Black Nikka Clear Blend'. This was a cleaner blend with a non-peated malt base light and elegant perfect for people new to whisky and/or highball fans.
