Nikka Coffey Gin

Nikka Coffey Gin is a premium Japanese gin with a smooth and complex flavour profile that has rapidly become a favourite among gin connoisseurs. It is made using advanced distillation techniques that involve the use of various botanicals, giving it a unique character that is superior to many other gins.

Nikka Coffey Gin is named after Aeneas Coffey, the pioneer of the column still technique that is used to produce this gin. The column still helps to achieve a higher degree of purity and concentration, which results in a more refined and complex spirit.

The gin is made using 11 botanicals, including juniper berries, angelica root, coriander seeds, lemon peel, orange peel, yuzu, Aichi-grown amansu, apple juice, kabosu, sansho pepper and cinnamon. These botanicals are sourced from all over Japan, ensuring that the gin captures the essence of the country’s flora.

Upon opening the bottle, the gin has a fresh, fruity aroma, with the juniper notes shining through. The taste is pleasantly complex, with the juniper and citrus flavours blending harmoniously with the other botanicals. Although the gin has a high alcohol content, it is still smooth and easy to drink, making it a versatile drink that can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or as a base for cocktails and mixed drinks.

One of the most striking aspects of Nikka Coffey Gin is its beautiful packaging. The sleek green bottle features the signature Coffey still design and has a retro feel to it. It looks stunning on any bar cart or in a gin collection.

Overall, Nikka Coffey Gin is an excellent choice for gin lovers looking for a premium drink with an authentic Japanese twist. It is a spirit that celebrates tradition while embracing innovation, and it is a testament to the attention to detail and skill of the Nikka distillers.
