Nikka Coffey Grain Japanese Whisky Glass Pack
Out of stock
Nikka Coffey Grain is predominantly made from corn and distilled in a Coffey still (no, it has nothing to do with coffee!). Matured entirely in American oak casks, the complex, sweet and mellow flavors of this expression will help you to discover the beauty of grain whisky. To serve as a ‘Coco Wari’ cocktail, pour 50ml in a chilled glass, fill with ice, top up with coconut water, and stir.
This whisky is an essential part of several of Nikka’s blends, acting as a flavoursome backbone, presenting enticing notes of coconut, butter, exotic fruits, toffee, popcorn, burned toast, citrus. It is a versatile whisky and a great replacement for rum in a lot of cocktails.
A sweeter and more syrupy style of japanese whisky but never the less an interesting experiment.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Golden honey with warm amber edges, a sunlit, coppery glow that hints at sweet oak and tropical fruit.
Nose
Milky mocha and butterscotch lead into aromatic spices of nutmeg and cinnamon, with fresh leather, coconut and vanilla warming the bouquet. Ginger biscuits, orange rind and sandalwood add zesty, creamy complexity.
Palate
Buttery and spicy, with crunchie-bar sweetness, toasted coconut and caramelised pineapple; syrupy pancake notes weave through, finished with cinnamon and vanilla.
Finish
Spicy and sweet, it coats the palate with a syrupy mouthfeel, unleashing chocolate and mocha notes edged with honeycomb and a lingering aromatic spice.
