Nikka Coffey Grain, Single Grain Whisky

The grain whisky produced in Nikka's Coffey stills is a key component in the wide range of Nikka blends. Presented here in its purest form, this single grain whisky offers a rare glimpse into its very original type of whisky.

Nice golden hue. Fresh and exciting on the nose, it reveals ripe pear, cherry, and exotic fruit aromas. Citrus notes of blood orange and lemon appear, slowly giving way to more subtle floral scents. With air, aromas of pastry, coconut, and bourbon vanilla emerge, with underlying notes of mint and a hint of musk. The palate is juicy and pleasant, the promises of the nose are kept. Intense ripe fruit with rum accents (banana) and caramel. The complexity develops with hints of liquorice and star anise. The mid-palate shows more fruit, dominated by pear nectar and quickly moving on to creamier notes with an omnipresent freshness. The finish is just as pleasant as on the palate with pear and vanilla bourbon, ending on a very nice light bitter touch.
