Product Details:

ABV: 47%

Sensory Description:

The nose greets you with an invigorating rush of yuzu and kabosu, intertwined with delicate hints of amanatsu and shequasar. Beneath this citrus medley, classic juniper and subtle angelica add structure. On the palate, light sweetness opens into a cascade of bright citrus zest, honey, and a whisper of maple, all balanced by pumpernickel, white peppercorn, and faint toasted oak. The finish is crisp, clean, and deeply aromatic.

Distiller’s Background:

Nikka’s expansion into gin reflects decades of distilling expertise, honed since the 1960s through their renowned Coffey Grain and Coffey Malt whiskies. Founders leveraged the same stills to craft a gin that bridges Eastern and Western botanical traditions. With a focus on quality and originality, Nikka’s approach preserves the nuanced aromatics of Japanese citrus while honoring the heritage of classic gin-making.

Serving Suggestions:

Nikka Coffey Gin shines in a chilled martini, where its citrus notes take center stage, or paired simply with premium tonic water and a twist of yuzu or lime. It also serves as a striking base for innovative cocktails that call for a lively, aromatic spirit. Serve well-chilled to highlight its bright, zesty complexity.

This is a gin that doesn’t just refresh, it tells a story of craftsmanship, place, and the harmony of tradition with innovation.
