- Description
- Nikka's Coffey Malt represents an unconventional approach: malted barley distilled through a continuous still rather than traditional copper pot stills, technically placing it outside single malt classification. The Coffey still yields a lighter, more delicate spirit than pot-distilled malts, with elegant fruit and subtle spice notes from Japanese oak maturation. A whisky for those interested in Japanese distilling innovation and technical experimentation.
