The Japanese Gin Nikka Coffey Gin
SpiritAbout
Nikka Coffey Gin is a refined Japanese spirit that combines traditional gin elements with unique regional botanicals. Distilled using Nikka's Coffey stills, traditionally used for whisky production, this gin offers a silky texture and rich body. The base spirit is a blend of barley and corn, providing a robust foundation for the botanicals. The gin features a bright and complex aroma dominated by Japanese citrus fruits such as yuzu, kabosu, and amanatsu, complemented by juniper, coriander, and angelica. The palate is initially sweet, transitioning to a zesty citrus character, grounded by soft spice and earthy juniper. The finish is long and refreshing, with tangy hints of green Japanese Sansho pepper. Nikka Coffey Gin is ideal for both sipping neat and crafting unique cocktails, particularly those that highlight its citrus-forward profile. Its versatility and distinct flavor profile make it a standout choice for gin enthusiasts seeking a contemporary Japanese gin experience.
