ABOUT

Crafted from a mash bill dominated by corn and filled out with malted barley, this whisky is produced in continuous distillation using a Coffey still. Released without an age statement, it's a light straw-colored whisky that defies easy categorization. It might remind you a bit of bourbon, with vanilla and oak up front, a luscious body tasting of sweet corn, hazelnut, and melon. There's a vegetal undertone and a quick, strong finish. It's unlike any other whisky you’ve tried, and absolutely mesmerizing in a whisky soda, where the flavors open up to offer grapefruit, mint, and caramel. 

Whisky Advocate magazine rating: 92

TastingNotesNose: 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.

TASTING NOTES

Nose: The nose of Nikka Coffey Grain Whisky is sweet and inviting, with prominent aromas of vanilla, caramel, and ripe tropical fruits like banana and mango. Subtle notes of toffee, coconut, and a hint of citrus zest add depth and complexity to the bouquet, creating an enticing and well-rounded aroma.

Palate: On the palate, this whisky is smooth and creamy, with flavors of rich vanilla, toffee, and butterscotch taking center stage. The sweetness of the corn is balanced by notes of ripe fruit, including apricot and melon, while a touch of spice, such as cinnamon and nutmeg, adds complexity. The texture is velvety and slightly oily, making each sip both indulgent and satisfying.

Finish: The finish is long and smooth, with lingering notes of vanilla, oak, and a gentle sweetness. A soft, warming sensation remains on the palate, leaving a pleasant and refined aftertaste that invites further exploration.

FOOD PAIRING

Nikka Coffey Grain Japanese Whisky pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, particularly those with a sweet or creamy profile. Enjoy it with crème brûlée or a vanilla panna cotta to complement the whisky’s rich and creamy flavors. For a savory pairing, consider roasted pork with apple sauce or grilled peaches with a honey glaze. The whisky’s smooth and sweet character also pairs well with mild, creamy cheeses like brie, camembert, or mascarpone.
