{"product_id":"nikka-coffey-vodka","title":"Nikka Coffey Vodka","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNikka Coffey Vodka is distilled from corn and malted barley in Nikka's original Coffey stills at the Miyagikyo Distillery near Sendai — the same traditional continuous stills imported from Scotland in 1963 that produce the Coffey Grain and Coffey Malt whiskies, applied here to vodka production with results that demonstrate exactly why the Coffey still produces a fundamentally different spirit than modern column distillation.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe secret of Nikka Coffey Vodka is the still itself. Modern high-efficiency column stills are designed to strip as much flavor as possible, producing a neutral, clean spirit. The Coffey still, being an older and less efficient design, retains more of the grain's natural character — producing a vodka with a distinctly richer, more textured mouthfeel and a subtle complexity that neutral-grain vodkas cannot achieve. The corn provides natural sweetness; the malted barley adds a subtle complexity. The result is a vodka that holds up in cocktails as well as any premium spirit and rewards sipping neat in a way most vodkas do not.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Subtle grain sweetness and a gentle vanilla note from the corn and Coffey still combination\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Balanced and smooth with a notably rich, creamy texture — the Coffey still's characteristic mouthfeel distinguishing it from standard column-still vodkas\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clean, smooth, and lingering\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 Vodka — Coffey still distilled\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eGrain:\u003c\/strong\u003e Corn and malted barley\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coffey still (original stills imported from Scotland 1963)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40% (80 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\u003eWhy use a Coffey still for vodka?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost vodka producers use modern high-efficiency column stills designed to strip flavor and produce the most neutral possible spirit. Nikka's Coffey still is a traditional 1831 design that retains more grain character, producing a vodka with a richer, more textured mouthfeel and subtle complexity that efficient column distillation eliminates. It is a deliberate choice to produce a more characterful vodka rather than a more neutral one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Why use a Coffey still for vodka?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Nikka's traditional 1831 Coffey still retains more grain character than modern high-efficiency column stills.
