NIKKA Coffey Gin

Bottle Size: 700ml

Alcohol Content: 47% ABV

Japanese gin is a rich spirit full of tensions. In addition to traditional herbs, its amazing aromatic complexity is based on the explosion of Japanese citrus fruits, such as Yuzu, Kabosu and Amanatsu, but also on the freshness of apples. Green tea and Japanese Sancho pepper complete the rest of its elements, in a completely different and extremely interesting taste experience. A pioneering, premium botanical gin, with the distillation process in Coffey Still, brings out all the aromas and flavors from the Japanese tradition.

The Japanese art that goes by the name of Nikka whiskey is the “child” of Masataka Taketsuru, the first person to create Japanese whiskey. With extensive experience in the distillation of Scottish malt, in 1933 he opened his own distillery in order to create his own premium Japanese whisky. Today, Japanese Nikka whiskeys have 2 distilleries, one in Hokkaido (Yoici Distillery) and one in Miyagi (Miyagikyo/Sendai Distillery). Yoichi is the last distillery to use coal-fired heating in Japan, which helps to preserve the traditional character of the distillery. On the other hand, Miyagikyo produces whiskey that is lighter and fruitier, similar to those of the Scottish Lowlands. It is noteworthy that here they mix malt whiskey with grain whiskey, a process that few distilleries in Scotland do.
