So what’s the big deal about a Coffey Still?

Nikka Coffey Grain Whiskeys are made using traditional Scottish Coffey stills, which is a type of column still invented by Aeneas Coffey in 1830. Unlike typical blends, Nikka opts for a single-grain approach, resulting in a uniquely balanced and successful product. The use of Coffey stills ensures a purer taste and lighter body, preserving the whisky’s aromatic richness. Founder Masataka Taketsuru’s commitment to quality extends to using fresh oak barrels for aging, resulting in a characterful whisky with sweet, light, and complex flavors.
