100% barleydistilled in a Coffey (or continuous) still. Previously only released as part of single casks, Nikka decided to add their Coffey Malt to their core range in 2014.
n: golden cherry and peaches on buttermilk pancakes. Warm malt heavy with oats and dark vanilla.
t: sweeter than expected; full of scorched caramel and vanilla sugar marshmallow. Oatmeal, brown sugar, and black raisin. Oily and dense mouth feel. Almond butter and light cocoa powder. Middle has buttery malt and the alcohol comes out and overpowers any wood influence. This comes across as very youthful with rough edges and overly sweet in the finish. Just a malty sweet spot, nothing deep or thought provoking. C+
