Insider knowledge: Nikka 1995 Single Cask Coffey Grain whisky is named whisky by virtue of the fact it's from Japan. If distilled in America the spelling would be Nikka 1995 Single Cask Coffey Grain whiskey, as opposed to whisky.
Nose: Clean and balanced, and opens on buttery toffee, vanilla, spongecake and just a hint of fruit. Palate: Rounded and creamy, spices, rum, toffee and rye spice left the core of juicy sultanas. Finish: Good length, crisp and with candy floss notes.
The Master of Malt
Japs dont know anything about making wine
Its like buying a bottle of Grey Goose thinking you are all classy. The only thing the Japanese can make well is Sake and the Snake alcohol. Stay away from this disease, it takes like a Sumo Wrestler took a dump in the bottle.
It's whisky, not wine
That's probably why the previous poster thought it tasted off. And the rest of their comment is not even worth reading...
Great.
The particular distillation process makes this whisky unique. Perfect balance and extremely wide range of flavors! Great.
Phenomenal.
Given the slightly racist tone to the guy at the top there, I think we can safely ignore the rest of opinion (especially as he seems to think it's wine). This is a remarkably complex whisky, quite unlike anything I've ever tasted. Absolutely sublime. Worth a go on the samples, as I did.
