Overview

More Info

This unique expression was developed in 2013 as a result of Nikka's continuous experiments to widen the variety and offer more excitements to aficionados. 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. This expression is not categorized as “malt whisky” but as “grain whisky” since it is not distilled in a pot still.

Tasting notes

Nose: Fresh and clean, with aromas of candied lemon peel and rich cake spices.

Palate: Robust and spicy, quite a dense mouthfeel and richly textured, with cinnamon and clove on the palate, and citrus-tinged freshness to lighten the load.

Finish: Harmonious blend of dense spices, rich oak, and lemon and orange notes. Delightful.

Reviews

Both complex and fascinating!

"I particularly appreciate trying new liqueurs and Japanese whiskey. The Nikka Coffey has a really sweet aroma, followed by a smooth drink with great texture and flavor that is just a little bit smoky and peaty. It almost has a clear liquor-like aftertaste that is quite clean. Fantastic."

Osvaldo K. (5/5)

For fans of Irish or Canadian whiskey, try Japanese whiskey

"This is my favorite member of the Nikka lineup until you get to the Taketsuru Pure Malt, definitely worth the small premium over the Coffey Grain. Makes a great introduction to Japanese whiskey for Irish or even American/Canadian whisk(e)y fans. Rich flavor works well neat or over ice, and is less of a departure from Western styles."

Meike S. (5/5)

Malted barley from Nikka's Coffee Sooo Delicious

"Complex and smooth flavor. You really taste three levels from start middle to finish. Nikka is the only distiller using a Coffey still with malted barley. This process really produces a complex and delightful flavor profile. My new favorite."

Fabienne C. (5/5)

Extremely Silky Whisky

"I've been eyeing this whisky for a while but have never tried it. It fulfilled every expectation I had for a smooth whisky. It is pretty tasty and gentle on the tongue, and it has some distinctive characteristics. Excellent Smooth Whisky"

Kinge N. (5/5)

The best whiskey I've ever had was Coffey.

"This whiskey is among the greatest I've ever had; it's very smooth and leaves your taste buds with a good savoring flavor."

Nobuyuki (5/5)

The aftertaste of coffee and malt is my favorite.

"When I want to unwind, go on a picnic, go fishing, or host a party, this malt is my go-to beverage. I'm left wanting more by the coffee's aftertaste."

Meinwen P. (4/5)

Finish with a buttery sweetness

"Brown sugar notes are prominent, the sweetness is almost overpowering, and the finish is buttery."

Alaattin K. (4/5)

A little Sweet

"It is well-balanced and leaves a semi-sweet fruity/apricot aftertaste on the palate. Till the last drop, enjoyable."

Malgier B. (5/5)

Such a silky Nikka Coffey Single Malt Whiskey

"Fantastic, really fluid similar to the Macallan 15 year triple cask in terms of quality."

Aureliano D. (5/5)

Delectable and opulent!

"Delicious, creamy, and full-bodied with a floral and sweet taste to it."
