“Attention all whisky enthusiasts! If there’s one whisky you absolutely have to try in your lifetime, it’s the Nikka Coffey Malt. Imagine a whisky made from 100% malted barley distilled in a column still, a Coffey Still from the 1960s. The result is on par with the originality of this indescribable whisky. Characterised by notes of lemon on the nose, it unfurls aromas of ripe fruits (mirabelle plum) on the palate and a creamy texture.
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. As such, this unique 100% Coffey malt is categorised as a grain whisky, and offers a surprisingly rich and creamy texture.

While most distilleries use their Coffey stills only to make grain whisky, Nikka use the two Coffey stills at their Miyagikyo distillery to create malt whisky too. The Nikka Coffey Malt Whisky was introduced to their selection of expressions in 2014. Plenty rich and flavoursome, it's a wonderful addition to Nikka's fantastic range.
