Nikka Coffey Malt Whisky

Eileen “I am on board” Peppery, oily, and full.

I really enjoy this, from nose to finish. It’s just excellent. I much prefer it to the Coffey Grain, though I’ve not spent as much time with that one. Nose: I get peaches, cream, maple glaze and maybe funnel cake or french toast? Palate: Fruit preserves, mainly peaches again or apricots, it sweet but in no way cloying to me. I get no smoke at all but all in all it’s beautifully clean and just very nice. I get a warm medium to long finish with this one, with lingering peach and powdered sugar. I hope I can always find this.

I must say I was intrigued by this dram of how it transitions and shows you different notes throughout the tasting. The nose has a full toffee and vanilla tone just like a Bourbon would have, even though this is malt and not maize. So I expected a similar experience. Now to my surprise the palate gives you something completely different! A sensation of fresh fruits, almost on the Orange side with citrus peals that gives a tart feel on the tongue. Very fesh and light. On the finish you still have a light feel with a moment of fruitiness which then transitions towards dark chocolate, hazelnuts and some oak. A bottle worthy of the shelf!

Sweet smooth vanilla and a little complex maybe cereal or burnt sugar I like from the barrel better and black but this is maybe 3rd fave Nikka

Strong abd spicy on nose but very sweet and full on taste. Vanilla, sweet fruits and a but of spiciness when you sip. Aftertaste is just pleasant and nothing too much. Pleasant to have as an easy evening drink.
