Nikka,Coffey Malt

This unique expression was developed in 2013 as a result of Nikka’s continuous experiments to widen the variety and offer more excitements to aficionados. Made from 100% malted barley, whisky distilled in a Coffey still is matured in old casks to enhance the rich maltiness, complexity and a silky texture.

This expression is not categorised as “malt whisky” but as “grain whisky” since it is not distilled in a pot still.

Note:
Coffey Malt is all distilled in Nikka’s Coffey stills, but a part of the old batches in the formula was made from distillates imported from Ben Nevis and then distilled in our Coffey stills as a part of our experiments in the past. Because of this, it is not officually a true ‘Japanese Whisky’ as defined by the Japan Spirits & Liqueur Makers Association
