Nikka Coffey Malt

Why we love this tipple

“Step into the world of Japanese whisky with the Nikka Coffey Malt, a unique expression that showcases the innovative spirit of the Nikka distillery. Distilled using a Coffey still, traditionally used for grain whisky, this malt whisky offers an intriguing blend of fruitiness and smooth caramel tones. On the nose, Nikka Coffey Malt bursts with super fruity aromas, reminiscent of tutti frutti ice cream. There’s a light touch of caramel and banana—think banoffee pie—with an underlying hint of oaky toast smoke that adds a subtle complexity to the bouquet. The palate delivers a rich and creamy experience, where caramel takes the forefront, enveloping the taste buds with its smooth sweetness. The banana notes persist but remain well-balanced, avoiding any cloying sweetness. Dried fruits like sultanas, raisins, and apricot add depth, while the absence of strong booze-induced spice makes for an exceptionally smooth sip. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving you with lingering notes of caramel-covered candied fruit. Nikka Coffey Malt is a must-try for those who appreciate a whisky that’s both fruity and richly smooth—a true testament to Nikka’s mastery of the Coffey still.”
