Product details
Don't let the name fool you - rather, this is distilled on a "Coffey" column still, as opposed to the pot stills that are traditional in malt whisky production. With whiskies from both of Nikka's distillery's present, the coffey still adds a kind of sheen that takes this in a slightly sweeter, more desserty direction, making it one of our favorite recommendations for Bourbon drinkers looking for something familiar in Japanese whisky. Praline, vanilla cream, dried fruit, plum - there are no hard edges here. Bottled at 45% abv.

If this bottle is in stock, BUY IT IMMEDIATELY. I have enjoyed a fair amount of Japanese whiskeys in my life, and even more malted whiskeys - believe me when I say that the Nikka Coffey Malt is easily one of the best whiskeys in the world today.
The aroma is an intoxicating bouquet of bananas foster, vanilla, fermented pineapple and oatmeal.
On the palate, you're going to taste: butterscotch, maple, biscuit, frosted flakes, bananas, malt and cereal.
The finish is light with hints of vanilla, oat and malted barley.
I cannot recommend this bottle enough. Buy two if you can.
A very balanced whisky, with an unexpected hint of sweetness. Extremely good - definitely recommend grabbing a bottle if it's available.
