Nikka Coffey Malt Whisky

Rich, spicy and totally unexpected, this is malt whisky reimagined. Distilled not in a pot still, but in Nikka’s legendary Coffey still, usually reserved for grain whisky, this 100% malted barley expression is all texture and surprise. It bursts with cinnamon, clove, and lemon zest, before giving way to layers of dark chocolate, dried fruit and toasty oak. Bold but balanced, this malt lands with full flavour and silky richness, finishing with a glow of spice and citrus.

Method Magic Introduced to the core range in 2014, Coffey Malt is one of the most distinctive whiskies in the Nikka portfolio. Made at Miyagikyo Distillery, this is Japanese craftsmanship with a twist: by distilling malt whisky in a column still, Nikka has created a dram that’s fuller, creamier, and more layered than traditional single malts. Matured in American oak, it’s an ode to innovation and founder Masataka Taketsuru’s legacy—and a must for those looking beyond the usual malt map. 🥃
