Nikka Coffey Grain Whisky
Japanese Grain Whisky | 45% ABV (90 Proof) | 700mL
Process & Profile
Nikka Coffey Grain Whisky is distilled at the Miyagikyo Distillery using a traditional Coffey still imported from Scotland in the 1960s. Made primarily from corn with a touch of malted barley, this expression showcases the sweet, silky side of Japanese grain whisky. Maturation takes place in American oak barrels, which impart vanilla and caramel depth while preserving the whisky’s delicate fruit and floral notes.
