The Nikka Coffey Malt is the result of a unique distillation process in "Coffey" type column stills, which are normally used for grain whisky production. This rare 100% malt bottling offers a surprisingly rich texture with deep oaky notes.
Colour: Gold
Nose: Lively and tart. Zesty! Fresh and citrusy all the way. An ode to lemon, which the sweet Williams pear manages to temper. Fine pepper notes and a hint of balsamic vinegar blend together, with softer vanilla scents finding their way in. Café au lait.
Palate: Like the nose, its vivacity is sustained by citrus aromatics (clementine, orange) which come challenge more enticing notes of coffee, praline, baba au rhum, and vanilla cream. Surprisingly, prune, mirabelle and greengage aromas develop, leaving one with the false impression of an eau-de-vie.
Finish: Extends without batting an eye lid on prune and mirabelle notes. Licorice makes a brief appearance before the fruit takes center stage.
