About Nikka Coffey Malt Whisky
Nikka Coffey Malt Whisky is a 100% malted barley whisky distilled in rare Coffey continuous stills at Nikka's Miyagikyo distillery, offering a unique twist on Japanese whisky production typically reserved for grain spirits. At 45% ABV (90 proof) and produced by Hotaling & Co., it's available in 750ml bottles for $72.00, delivering exceptional silky texture, fruity sweetness, and spice that sets it apart from pot-still single malts. What makes it special is its luscious mouthfeel—syrupy and coating—paired with delicate Japanese finesse like honeyed fruits and subtle solvents, evoking both Irish pot still and classic Nikka elegance. Ideal for fans of smooth, approachable Japanese whiskies or those exploring innovative styles beyond peated Scotch. In its blended malt category, it punches above with richer body and quaffability than many Scottish peers, though some note a lighter finish; at this price, it's a compelling value for texture-driven sippers.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
Complex and inviting with butterscotch, grapefruit, honey, and tropical fruits like peaches and bananas dominating, alongside candied lemon peel, cake spices, and faint acetone-red apple notes typical of Japanese style.
👅 Palate
Syrupy and luscious mouthfeel coats the tongue with honey-draped red apples, caramel, milk chocolate, vanilla pound cake, and baking spices like cinnamon and clove, delivering fruity sweetness, mild rye nutmeg, and creamy texture that's richly chewy and smooth.
✨ Finish
Medium-long and harmonious with lingering sweet chocolate, oak, spices, vanilla, and citrus tinges, fading gently into creamy bitterness or mild astringency without overpowering the experience.
