{"product_id":"nikka-coffey-grain-whisky","title":"Nikka Coffey Grain Whisky","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNikka Coffey Grain Whisky is a single grain Japanese whisky distilled mainly from corn in Nikka's original Coffey stills at Miyagikyo — the traditional continuous still design invented by Aeneas Coffey in 1831, imported from Scotland by Nikka in 1963, and capable of producing a distillate with far more flavor complexity and textural richness than the modern column stills most grain whisky producers use.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrain whisky is typically a background player in blended whisky — lighter and more neutral than malt, its role is to provide smoothness and body without asserting its own character. Nikka's Coffey Grain turns that premise on its head: bottled as a single grain whisky at 45% ABV with no malt whisky blended in, it demonstrates what the Coffey still produces when given the spotlight — exotic tropical fruit, rich vanilla and caramel, and a silky, full-textured mouthfeel that the Coffey still's specific distillation dynamics create. An essential component of Nikka's house blends, released here in its pure single grain form for those curious about what sits underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tropical fruit, rich vanilla, caramel, and coconut — the Coffey still's fruity character at full expression\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Exotic and silky — tropical fruit, vanilla sweetness, and a creamy, full-textured body that the Coffey still specifically produces\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, smooth, and richly fruity\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 Single Grain Whisky\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coffey still (continuous still, traditional design 1831)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eGrain:\u003c\/strong\u003e Primarily corn\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45% (90 Proof)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/japanese-foreign\"\u003eJapanese whisky at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat is a Coffey still and why does it matter?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Coffey still is a traditional continuous still design patented by Aeneas Coffey in 1831 — one of the first practical column stills. Unlike modern high-efficiency column stills that strip nearly all flavor compounds, the Coffey still retains more of the grain's natural character, producing a distillate with more complexity, texture, and fruit character. Nikka imported original Coffey stills from Scotland in 1963 specifically because they produce a different, richer result than the column stills typically used for grain whisky.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is a Coffey still?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"A traditional continuous still design patented by Aeneas Coffey in 1831.
