Nikka Coffey Gin 750mL

Nikka Coffey Gin runs Japanese botanicals — yuzu, sansho pepper, and more — through the famed Coffey stills behind Nikka's celebrated grain whisky.

Nikka's continuous Coffey stills, imported to Japan decades ago and now legendary among whisky drinkers, give this gin an unusually silky, rounded base. Over it: a distinctly Japanese botanical bill of yuzu, kabosu, amanatsu and shikuwasa citrus with tingling sansho pepper alongside juniper. Bottled at 47% ABV, it is one of the benchmark Japanese gins.

Tasting Notes

Vivid Japanese citrus — yuzu leading — over soft juniper, with a gentle sansho-pepper tingle and a silky, rounded texture from the Coffey-still base. Stunning in a G&T or citrus-forward martini.
