Nikka Coffey Malt Whisky

The Nikka Coffey Malt is the result of a unique distillation process in Coffey stills, which are normally used for grain whisky production. This rare 100% malt bottling offers a surprisingly rich texture and wonderful depth of flavour.

In February 2021, for the first time its hundred-year history, Japanese whisky got a comprehensive definition of what it actually is (and isn't). Inevitably, some products that have always been considered as Japanese whisky no longer are. Nikka, with great transparency, have added clarifications to all their products.

For Nikka Coffey Malt, they say This product does not meet all the criteria of 'Japanese whisky' defined by the Japan Spirits & Liqueur Makers Association. Coffey Malt is all distilled in Nikka’s Coffey stills, but a part of the old batches in the formula was made from distillates imported from Ben Nevis and then distilled in our Coffey stills as a part of our experiments in the past. It remains a beautiful malt whisky, nevertheless!
