Nikka Coffey Malt Whisky
Nikka Coffey Malt Whisky is one of the more distinctive expressions in the Nikka lineup, made entirely from malted barley but distilled in the brand’s signature Coffey stills — equipment normally used for grain whisky. This unusual approach gives it a character that sits somewhere between classic malt richness and the smooth, rounded profile of Coffey‑distilled spirits. It reflects Nikka’s long history of experimentation, rooted in Masataka Taketsuru’s mission to blend Scottish technique with Japanese precision. Its aroma shows soft vanilla, gentle oak, ripe stone fruit and a touch of caramel. On the palate, it offers a smooth, creamy texture with notes of toffee, peach, light spice and a subtle biscuit‑like maltiness that sets it apart from traditional single malts. The finish is warm, mellow and lightly sweet, making it an approachable yet distinctive whisky that showcases the innovative side of Japanese distillation.
Suntory Kakubin Black Label
Kakbin means square bottle which is the shape that this whisky bottle is. It is Suntory's entry level blended whisky but at a slightly higher strength at 43% made up from Yamazaki and Hakushu whiskies.
