Nikka Coffey Gin 47% 700mL Bottle

Proudly maturing its spirits in its Yoichi and Miyagikyo distilleries, Nikka's entire process is completed in Japan, from barrel to bottle. Its distinct aroma and body is derived from direct heating distillation - a long lost traditional method that heats finely powdered coal - the Coffey Gin boasts rich and mellow taste that includes yuzu, kabosu, amanatsu and shikuwasa. Balancing it out, tangy apple and sansho pepper give the gin its Japanese twist.

Balancing it out, tangy apple and sansho pepper give the gin its Japanese twist.Coffey Gin's complexity is achieved through the perfect balance between 11 selected botanicals and the silky texture of Coffey distillates. The bright and zesty aroma originating from four kinds of Japanese citruses, Yuzu, Kabosu, Amanatsu and Shequasar, compliments the traditional gin botanicals of juniper berries, angelica, coriander seeds, lemon and orange peels.There is also a touch of apples, a fruit deeply related to the history of Nikka, followed by pleasantly tangy hints of green Japanese Sansho pepper on the finish.Tasting Notes:The palate has lively and floral with plants (sage, verbena). On the mid-palate, citrus fruit, lemon and ripe fruits (apple, pear) take the upper hand before in turn being covered in strong spices such as star anise & grated ginger. The finish is like chewing on a liquorice stick. Its verdant character evokes green tea and mint tea. Bitter oranges give the end of the palate lots of energy.
