Nikka – Coffey Grain is made in two Coffey stills (named after its inventor, Aeneas Coffey). These stills were imported from Scotland in 1963 and are part of the company’s Miyagikyo distillery. Compared to modern column stills, these older stills generally produce a whisky with more flavor and richness. Grain whisky is mostly used as a base for blended whisky, so it is relatively unusual to bottle and sell the product. But once you’ve tasted Nikka – Coffey Grain you’ll understand why they did.
