Nikka Coffey Grain Whisky 90th Anniversary 45% ABV 0.7l in a gift box

The Nikka Coffey Grain Whisky 90th Anniversary presents the well-known Japanese single grain whisky in special gift packaging to mark the 90th anniversary of Nikka Whisky. The company was founded in 1934 by Masataka Taketsuru and celebrated its 90th anniversary in 2024. The Coffey Grain is made predominantly from maize and distilled in traditional Coffey stills. Nikka imported the first of these historic continuous stills from Scotland to Japan in 1963, with a second following in 1966. Today, they are used at the Miyagikyo Distillery. Although these stills are less efficient than modern column stills, Nikka values them particularly for their ability to preserve the character of the raw materials and produce a distinctly smooth, creamy distillate.

Nikka Coffey Grain was originally launched in 2012 and is now one of the Japanese producer’s signature grain whiskies. After distillation, the whisky is matured in various older American oak casks, including refilled, reassembled and re-charred casks. It is bottled at 45% ABV. According to Nikka, the whisky meets all the criteria for the designation ‘Japanese Whisky’ in accordance with the standards of the Japan Spirits & Liqueurs Makers Association. The 90th Anniversary Edition is distinguished primarily by its limited-edition anniversary gift packaging, making it an attractive option for Nikka Whisky collectors and lovers of Japanese whiskies.

Tasting Note

Colour: Gold with amber highlights.

Nose: Ripe pear, cherry and exotic fruits, complemented by blood orange, lemon, delicate pastries, coconut and bourbon vanilla.

Palate: Smooth, juicy and fruity, with banana, caramel and pear nectar, as well as subtle hints of liquorice and star anise.

The Nikka Coffey Grain 90th Anniversary is excellent when enjoyed neat at around 18–20 °C, but can also be served over a large ice cube. Its smooth grain whisky profile pairs well with roasted nuts, mild hard cheese or desserts featuring vanilla and caramel. Thanks to its fruity character, it also makes an excellent base for an Old Fashioned or a whisky highball. The special 90th Anniversary gift packaging also makes the 0.7-litre bottle an ideal choice for anniversaries, birthdays or as a gift for lovers of Japanese whiskies.
