Japanese Grain Whisky (Coffey Still)
Nikka's use of the Coffey (continuous) still — named for its Irish inventor Aeneas Coffey who patented it in 1831 — produces a distinctively rich grain whisky that has surprised spirits critics expecting the neutral character typical of continuous distillation.
Flavor Profile
Unusual richness and character for a column-distilled spirit. Nikka Coffey Grain: corn-based, bourbon-like, but distinctly Japanese. Nikka Coffey Malt (technically a malt whisky made in a Coffey still) is one of the most interesting whiskies in the world.
