Nikka Single Coffey Malt 12

Country: Japan

Region:

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 55%

Score: 93 Points

Anyone who claims Coffey stills can’t produce a malt whisky with any flavor needs to try this one! The nose is spicy and dry, with notes of dried leaves, fresh cut grass, and herbal notes of basil, thyme, and rosemary. The taste is floral and spicy, with hints of cilantro and black pepper that lead to a long, citrusy finish dominated by lime and lemon.
