Nikka - Coffey Grain Whisky

Keywords : Indulgent / Round / Harmonious

The spirit : Nikka Coffey Grain is an exceptional Japanese whisky, crafted according to the Single Grain tradition, meaning it comes from a single distillery and is mainly composed of corn, complemented by other grains. Distilled in the iconic Coffey stills, it offers a unique style, at the crossroads between whisky and a great bourbon. The tasting reveals a full, smooth palate and perfectly balanced, marked by rich aromas of chocolate and roasted notes, accompanied by vanilla and caramelized nuances. The texture is round, caressing, with a soft and persistent finish. A whisky  both charming and approachable, with a decidedly indulgent profile, ideal as an aperitif or at the end of a meal, especially paired with a piece of dark chocolate or a lightly sweetened dessert.

The brand : Born in 1894 into a family of sake producers, Masataka Taketsuru is today considered the father of Japanese whisky. After training as a chemist, he was hired by the Settsu Shuzo company, which sent him to Scotland in 1918 to serve his apprenticeship. Masataka then developed a passion for whisky and decided to dedicate his life to it. In 1934, he built Yoichi, his first distillery, on the island of Hokkaido. His growing success enabled him to establish a second one in 1969 near Sendai: Miyagikyo. It is from the single malts of these two distilleries that the Nikka group today offers its splendid and renowned range of Japanese whiskies.
