About this deal

The Nikka Coffey Malt is the result of a unique distillation process in “Coffey” type column stills, which are normally used for grain whisky production. Tasting notes reveal aromas of dark chocolate, Maltesers, banoffee pie, mocha, marmalade and gentle spice all balanced on the palate in this smooth and elegant whisky. While most distilleries use their Coffey stills only to make grain whisky, Nikka use the two Coffey stills at their Miyagikyo distillery to create malt whisky too.

Bought this for my dad for his birthday as he had never tried a japanese whisky before and he loved it. only to make grain whisky, Nikka use the two Coffey stills at their Miyagikyo distillery to create malt whisky too. Best enjoyed neat it is also great in a variety of cocktails such as the Espresso Martini or the Manhattan. Founded in 1934 by Masataka Taketsuru, the brand is headquartered in Tokyo and is the country's second largest distiller. Made from 100% malted barley, whisky distilled in a Coffey still is matured in old casks to enhance the rich maltiness, complexity and a silky texture.You must be at least 18 years of age to purchase and receive wine and spirits in the United Kingdom.

The two unique Nikka Coffey expressions are the most recent additions to the Nikka family and have been released in 2014 to celebrate the 80th anniversary of Nikka and showcase the innovative spirit of the brand. A hefty whack of spice – cinnamon and clove – at first, then joined by notes of dark chocolate and roasted nuts, then a touch of orange lightens the feeling. Smell wise there's a bit of sweet bourbon say Woodford Res but more mellow, perhaps a tiny whiff of something like nail varnish remover sometimes. A rare 100% malt bottling, this whisky is unlike any other, thanks to its unique "grain whisky" distillation method that results in a rich and complex flavour profile.However, as it is distilled in a Coffey still rather than a pot still it is not categorised as ‘single malt whisky’ but as a ‘grain whisky’. This flagship expression is the best selling Japanese whisky in Europe and is a blend of Coffey Grain , and spirits from Yoichi and Miyagikyo. Nikka Coffey Malt is a unique grain whisky made in Japan from 100% malted barley that has been distilled using a Coffey Still and aged in American oak. I think you make a good point here on what passes as whisky education, and I would love to see more of what you suggest. Nikka Coffey Malt Whisky is a rich and full-bodied Japanese whisky that is highly regarded for its unique flavour profile.

Whoever it will be, it’ll take a lot more time for them to get a strong following since the topic of his discussions isn’t a popular one.I can understand the lack of education about this from the big brands, but I’m surprised and annoyed that the independent or “independent” whisky Youtubers and bloggers aren’t educating their fans on important pre-barrel aging steps such as fermentation, types of stills, and condensers. Rather, it has been distilled in a Coffey continuous still, resulting in a softer, fruitier whisky with a creamy texture.
