“The word Coffey refers to the distilling process. There is coffee or coffee beans used ? ”
Christopher Gallo
Description
Using the two Coffey stills at the Miyagikyo distillery, which were imported from Scotland to Japan in 1963, Nikka have produced a number of single cask single grain whiskies from time to time over the years. This, however, is their larger release of wonderfully exotic grain whisky. Now in a 70cl bottle! Hooray!
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Bourbon-like vanilla and corn notes with a herbal hint of chamomile.
Palate
Sweet, fruity flavours of melon, grapefruit and thick syrup, balanced by crunchy biscuits and fresh vanilla.
Finish
The corn notes, sweet and vibrant, last on the finish.
Overall
Fans of grain whisky should be pretty happy with this, as well as bourbon lovers.
