Description
This is a Gin produced by Nikka Whisky, integrating its decades of experience in distilling white spirits and blending whiskies.
All of the base distillate comes through the "Coffey Still", a traditional continuous still which produces Nikka's signature grain whiskies, giving this gin a silky texture and rich body.
Its aromatic complexity relies on the delicate balance of various botanicals including Japanese citrus such as Yuzu, Kabosu and Amanatsu.
There is also a touch of apples, a fruit deeply related to the history of Nikka, followed by pleasantly tangy hints of Japanese Sansho pepper on the finish.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Loads of citrus fruit to start – yuzu, lemon zest and rich orange juice. Soft and buttery spice is layered underneath. Citrusy and spicy juniper sits between the two, bridging the gap.
Palate: Initially sweet but then the citrus rolls in – layers of fruit, peel and pith. There's an exoticness to the combination, hinting at a tropical fruit salad, but it's grounded by soft spice and earthy juniper.
Finish: Spice and citrus peel lead, fading to leave sweet and sour citrus zest.
