A rare malt, The Nikka Coffey Malt Whisky offers a rich texture with a spicy twist. Made from the east coast of Japan, Nikka Coffey is a genuinely unique whisky using a Coffey still in the distillery process and made exclusively from malted barley.The Nikka Whiskey Disting Co. was established in 1934 by Masataka Taketsuru, who learned how to distil whiskey when he travelled to Scotland in the early 20th century. It was here where he learned the value of the Coffey press which fueled his decision to have two of them installed at the company's distillery. It is the use of the Coffey press which gives this Japanese exclusive whiskey its name, not any additional flavouring. The Coffey press was invented in 1830 and was the first patented continuous still used for distilling whiskey, and though not easy to operate nor as efficient as modern distilling techniques, the result is a unique flavour originating from the ingredientsTraditionally, Japanese whiskey was produced for the domestic market, where it was extremely popular; however, in recent years, it has become more and more popular internationally and has been highly recognised and praised for its quality.
