Description

The Nikka whisky company was founded in 1934 by Masataka Taketsuru, with the creation of his Yoichi distillery on the island of Hokkaido. Arguably the "grandfather" of Japanese whisky, Taketsuru learned his trade studying Organic Chemistry at The University of Glasgow in 1918, before apprenticing at Longmorn, and laterally Hazelburn distilleries. With humble beginnings, producing apple juice and c ... A single cask Nikka Coffey Malt, this 11 year old was distilled in 2003 and bottled from cask number #130541 at 58% ABV. Made from 100% malted barley in a Coffey still, it offers a distinctive take on Japanese whisky. Sweet and weighty in style, with notes of vanilla, caramel, baked fruit and soft spice, leading to a long, warming finish. Defined by its single cask intensity and the rich, rounded character of Coffey still distillation.

Nose
Aromas of toffee, ripe apricot, banana bread, and roasted nuts, with a touch of oak and vanilla. Oily butterscotch, vanilla and malty sweetness with light bits of caramel, buttered pastries, fruit and spice. Soft, sweet, and the malt flavors are quite strong - barley sugar, vanilla, grain, and lemon cake.
Palate
Full-bodied and creamy, delivering flavours of caramel, malted barley, dried fruit, honey, and baking spices with a hint of citrus zest. Malt, fruit, nuts, vanilla, butterscotch, toasted pastries and light notes of spice, minerals and toasted grain. Lots of malty cereal notes create the backbone of the whisky, and it's overlaid with lots of sweet flavors: pineapple rum cake, caramel, pancakes, and maple syrup; hints of chocolate bitters and exotic yellow fruit come in, and then some dry white wine and coffee liqueur.
Finish
Long, warm, and elegant with lingering sweet malt, oak spice, and subtle vanilla tones. Medium fade of butterscotch, malt, fruit, vanilla. Medium-short, and it's quite sweet overall - butterscotch, pears, caramel, and a little bit of perfume, before the softest oak prickle on the back end.
