Nikka Coffey Grain Whisky

Ikke for meg

Nose: toasted toffee/caramel, honey, vanilla, a light fruitiness, and a light floral note- all of this as if you’re at an autumnal harvest fair. Palate: more toasted sweetness of toffee, honey, fruit, cinnamon and spice, all with a light pepperiness and herbal note on the somewhat short finish. Not completely your typical Japanese whiskey profile you’d expect, but definitely still Japanese. Quite enviable and worth a try.

First ever taste of japanese whisky, not sure whether it meets the newer requirements to be named a japanese whisky as I've had it awhile.. On the nose - alcohol/ethanol, hint of caramel. Taste: A very light body, almost smooth, not a bit of oiliness or viscous. A hint of honey-like candies, but for me no other dominant notes. Almost no warmth/burn either.
