Nikka Coffey Gin (70cl, 47%) without case Nikka Coffey Gin is the innovative distillate produced in the Japanese Miyagiko distillery: a label destined to rewrite the history of gin throughout the world. It was born from the long experiments of Japanese producers with the Coffey column still, created in 1830 and imported from Scotland to Japan in 1963. Initially this still was used for the production of soft, velvety and light whiskeys and, recently, used for the distillation of barley and corn for the production of gin, thanks to the brilliant intuition of master distiller Tadashi Sakuma. Nikkay Coffey Gin comes from 11 different botanicals, including Japanese citrus fruits such as Yuzu, Kabosu, Amanatsu and Shikuwasa, Sansho pepper, apple juice and other traditional botanicals such as juniper, angelica, coriander, lemon peel and orange peel. The singular practice of column distillation, using the traditional Coffey still, contributes to the great softness and envelopingness of the distillate. In this way the Nikka distillery, after having revolutionized the world of quality whisky, imposes itself with this innovative distillate which immediately found great success all over the world. The peculiarity of this Japanese distillate consists in the fascinating link between the European identity of the gin and fresh, delicate and citrus nuances, at times exotic, that this label can express, tasted straight, with ice or in combination with other ingredients in the creation of cocktails. The aromas evoke a basket of fruit in which apple and different types of citrus fruits stand out, with a pleasant and delicate sprinkling of pepper. The sip is silky and enveloping, with memories of spices and bitter orange. Energy, precision, softness and elegance in the name of high quality made in Japan.Colour Clear and crystallineAroma Citrus, fresh and fruity, with notes of apple, citrus fruit and subtle peppery nuancesTaste Very soft, velvety and enveloping, characterized by refreshing and citrus fruits
