Each contributes a different citrus profile: Yuzu's aromatic complexity, Kabosu's tangy tartness, Amanatsu's sweet-bitter grapefruit quality, and Shequasar's bright lime-like sharpness. Together they create a bright, zesty aroma that is distinctly Japanese while remaining within the recognizable gin framework. The touch of apples — a fruit central to Nikka's history, since apple products kept the company solvent while the first whiskies were maturing — adds a gentle sweetness. The Japanese Sansho pepper on the finish provides a pleasantly tangy, lip-tingling heat different from the black pepper of European gins. All of this runs through the Coffey still's distinctive distillation, producing the silky, texturally rich base that distinguishes Nikka's spirits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBotanicals\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eJuniper berries, angelica, coriander seeds, lemon peel, orange peel (traditional gin framework)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eYuzu, Kabosu, Amanatsu, Shequasar (four Japanese citrus varieties)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eApple (Nikka heritage botanical)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eJapanese Sansho pepper (finish)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Miyagikyo Distillery, Nikka Whisky, Sendai, Japan\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japanese Gin — Coffey still distilled\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBotanicals:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11 total\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 47% (94 Proof)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/gin\"\u003egin at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat makes Nikka Coffey Gin Japanese?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe four Japanese citrus botanicals — Yuzu, Kabosu, Amanatsu, and Shequasar — replace or augment the standard European citrus used in most gins, giving Coffey Gin a distinctive Japanese citrus profile.
