A blended whisky is the product of blending different types of whisky, (malt & grain), blending whisky from different distilleries, blending whisky from different age groups, or a combination of all of these. It is generally the product of mixing one or more higher-quality single malt whisky with less expensive spirits and other ingredients. This typically allows for a lower priced finished product, although expensive "premium" varieties also exist. Blended whiskies can be exceptional and a good example of this is the Nikka from the Barrel, or any of the other Nikka ranges.

Nikka From The Barrel is a blended whisky created to deliver full flavors and richness of whisky “from barrels” which only blenders can sniff and taste. The iconic bottle is designed to reflect “a small block of whisky” – embodying the rich, strong taste of the whisky within.

From The Barrel is an extremely complex blended whisky bottled at 51.4% ABV. In order to deliver its richness and full flavors, the blended liquid goes into used barrels for another few months for “marriage” before it is bottled.

This beautiful expression from Nikka should be drunk neat, and although it is 51.4% in alcohol, it goes down easily. It is blend of Japanese malt whisky from Yoichi distillery and grain whisky from Miyagikyo distillery which might be the reason why it's so good.
