A fresh zesty character on the nose, with underlying malty notes. The rich texture of the palate binds the flavours of barley, cinnamon with a touch of spice and candied citrus fruits.

Serve
Fruity yet spicy whisky overall. Nikka's Coffey Malt matches robust and spicy notes in a rich tapestry of flavour. There's just enough citrus to offset the clove and warming winter spice too- a fantastic Japanese Whisky!
Process
These impressive copper-pot stills are able to produce a whisky which is wonderfully complex and flavourful than some of the more modern column stills, due to its age and shape.
People
Masataka Taketsuru is the founder of Nikka Whisky. He enrolled at the University of Glasgow, Scotland, becoming the first Japanese ever to study the art of whisky-making. Later he returned to Japan and produced the country's first single malt whisky.
Place
In 1934 Masataka opened the Nikka Whisky Co distillery in the town of Yoichi. Later, his second distillery was located in foggy glen surrounded by mountains and at a junction of two clean rivers, by coincidence the name of the river was Nikkawa.
