Nikka Coffey Grain Whisky

The Japanese art that goes by the name Nikka Whiskey is the "child" of Masataka Taketsuru, the first man to create Japanese whiskey. With a long history of distilling Scottish malt, in 1933 he opened his own distillery in order to create his own premium Japanese whiskey. A Japanese grain whiskey, which is distilled mainly from corn in a continuous distiller (Coffey still). The ripe sweet notes of dried fruit, given by the barrel, in combination with the soft texture and the tropical fruits create a premium aged whiskey ideal to drink plain. At Miyagijyo Distillery, the two great Coffey distillers help to create soft whiskeys with strong fruit notes.
