Nikka Coffey Grain [700ML]

Description

Looking for a Japanese whisky that showcases the artistry of continuous column distillation at its finest?

The Nikka Coffey Grain represents a masterful expression of single grain whisky craftsmanship, distilled at the renowned Miyagikyo distillery using traditional Coffey stills imported from Scotland in the 1960s. This premium offering stands apart from conventional Japanese whiskies with its predominantly corn mash bill, creating a distinctively smooth and approachable profile. While exploring Japanese whisky options, consider comparing this with the Suntory World Whisky Ao or the Togouchi Premium Japanese Blended Whisky for different flavor experiences.
