Nikka Coffey Grain Whisky 70cl

A whisky aged for an average of 12 years in used American oak, Nikka Coffey Grain is made predominantly from corn with a little touch of malted barley: two key factors in the development of its very smooth character Nikka Coffey Grain has notes of coconut, butter, rich exotic and tropical fruits, toffee, popcorn, burnt toast and citrus. It forms an essential part of several of Nikka’s blends, acting as a flavoursome backbone Nikka was founded in 1934 by Masataka Taketsuru, “The Father of Japanese Whisky”; Taketsuru travelled to Scotland in 1918, returned to Japan and combined Scotch production techniques with Japanese precision to create Nikka Nikka Coffey Grain is distilled in a Coffey still, the world’s first continuous still designed in 1830 by Aeneas Coffey; this still produces a medium body spirit and ensures that the malt is delightfully fruity and spicy Nikka Coffey Grain is an extremely versatile whisky that is superb sipped neat or in classic cocktails such as a Nikka Manhattan: 60ml Nikka Coffey Grain Whisky, 15ml Dry Vermouth, 15ml Sweet Vermouth and 2 dashes of bitters
