Nikka, Coffey Malt Whisky, Japanese Whisky 45.0%

Description

Made in the Miyagikyo  distillery, the Nikka Coffey Malt is the result of a unique distillation process in “Coffey” column stills, which are normally used for grain whisky production. Imported from Scotland in 1963, these old stills yield a distillate with more flavour and depth than modern column stills, imparting a distinct character.  This rare 100% malt bottling offers a surprisingly rich, spicy texture.

About this spirit

The Nikka Whisky Distilling Co.

Masataka Taketsuru, considered as the father of Japanese whisky, and the founder Nikka Whisky Distilling co., was sent to Scotland in 1919 in order to acquire the necessary technical knowledge and a experience for whisky production. This is where he met Jessie Roberta Cowan, a Scotswoman born in Glasgow. They got married in 1920 and lived in Campbeltown for a few months close to the Hazelburn distillery where Masataka was continuing his training. Cowan changed her name to Rita and moved with her husband permanently to Japan. She provided loyal support to Masataka in his vision to establish whisky production in Japan.
