Nikka Coffey Grain Japanese Whisky

such a consistent easy whisky. Great for friends who might not like a lot of heat or peat.

This is an interesting one in that it's a grain spirit (corn) instead of malted barley. Almost like a Japanese take on bourbon.

Nose: Heavy vanilla, honey, lemon peel, and some background notes of corn sweetness, hay, and bread dough.

Flavor: Sweet vanilla custard all the way! Uncomplicated but I like the clear flavors coming through.

Finish: More sweet vanilla and honey but some oak transitioning to a dry slightly tannic finish. Just a hair nutty as well.

Very uncomplicated and not at all challenging but sweet and delicious. More of an after dinner dessert type drink for me than something I want to sip with a burger. Regardless I'm a fan.

I cannot say enough good things about this whiskey. It's easily my favorite Japanese expression and I've had a few dozen. For the price, it is unbeatable. Tropical fruit throughout the nose and the palate. Tons of character, but its not too aggressive. Pick up this bottle immediately.

Was very smooth just like I expected for a Japanese whiskey. Great price and even better taste.

This is a great whiskey and I'm glad that BB has it at an affordable price.
