This unique production method results in extraordinary flavors and texture.

Masataka Taketsuru valued the feature of this type of still, which retains the flavors of ingredients and also creates a distinctive texture. Coffey Grain and Coffey Malt are Nikka’s signature grain whiskies which show the beauty of our Coffey Stills.

Coffey Malt is made from 100% malted barley. However it is not categorized as “malt whisky” but as “grain whisky” since it is not distilled in a pot still. This unique production method results in extraordinary flavors and texture.

TASTING NOTES

• Tasting Notes by Stuart P

  • NOSE

    Fresh and clean, with aromas of candied lemon peel and rich cake spices.

  • PALATE

    Robust and spicy, quite a dense mouthfeel and richly textured, with cinnamon and clove on the palate, and citrus-tinged freshness to lighten the load.

  • FINISH

    Harmonious blend of dense spices, rich oak, and lemon and orange notes. Delightful.

  • COMMENT

    A fascinating experiment that more than passes the test. This is a delightfully fruity, spicy whisky with a refreshing aromatic zing.
