Nikka Coffey Grain Whisky 0,7L 45%

Nikka Coffey Grain Whisky is a smooth and fruity Japanese grain whisky produced primarily from corn at the Miyagikyo distillery. It is distilled in traditional continuous Coffey stills, named after their inventor, Aeneas Coffey. These stills are an important part of Nikka’s grain whisky production and contribute to its full-bodied, sweeter, and creamy character.

Production:

The whiskey is distilled primarily from corn in Coffey stills at the Miyagikyo distillery. This type of continuous distillation preserves more of the grain distillate’s character than modern, highly efficient column distillation systems and contributes to a fuller, sweeter, and creamier profile.

Coffey Grain is also one of the key components of Nikka’s blends. In this single-bottled release, however, it reveals its own distinctive style with notes of exotic fruit, vanilla, caramel, and subtle spicy tones.

Taste: Juicy and creamy, with notes of ripe fruit, banana, caramel, licorice, star anise, and pear.

About the Nikka Brand:

Nikka Whisky is one of Japan’s leading whisky producers. The brand was founded by Masataka Taketsuru, who traveled to Scotland in the early 20th century to learn the art of making authentic Scotch whisky directly from the source. During his stay there, he also met his future wife, Rita, who later followed him to Japan.

Upon his return, Taketsuru began building the Japanese whisky industry based on Scottish production methods. In 1934, he founded the Yoichi distillery on the island of Hokkaido, whose cold climate and natural conditions reminded him of Scotland. Later, the Miyagikyo distillery was also established, producing a smoother and fruitier style of whisky.

Nikka today combines spirits from both distilleries and offers single malt whiskey, blended whiskey, and the distinctive Coffey Grain and Coffey Malt editions. A hallmark of the brand is the fusion of Scottish tradition, Japanese precision, and the careful blending of different whiskey styles.
