Nikka Coffey Grain Whisky

Country: Japan

Region:

Type: Japanese Grain Whisky

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 45%

Score: 93 Points

One of the rare grain whisky bottlings from Japan, and well worth seeking out. This is distilled in a Coffey-style still, leading to an aromatic, light and fruity nose with hints of lemongrass and straw. The taste is peppery and clean, soft and well-blended with hints of lemongrass, brown sugar, and vanilla. The finish is subtle and slightly tart with a citrusy touch. Excellent!
