help Nikka Coffey Gin FAQ

Why is Nikka Coffey Gin called Coffey Gin?

The name refers to the continuous Coffey still used to make its base distillates, not to coffee flavoring. Nikka operates Coffey stills at its Miyagikyo distillery in Japan.

Which Japanese citrus fruits flavor Nikka Coffey Gin?

Its 11-botanical recipe includes yuzu, kabosu, amanatsu, and shikuwasa alongside traditional gin botanicals. The result is a pronounced citrus-peel character followed by peppery sansho spice.

How strong is Nikka Coffey Gin?

Nikka bottles it at 47 percent alcohol by volume in 700 ml bottles, with 750 ml bottles offered in the United States. That relatively high strength helps its citrus and spice remain noticeable in a gin and tonic.

What tonic and garnish suit Nikka Coffey Gin?

A restrained tonic keeps the gin's four Japanese citrus notes from being buried by sweetness. Grapefruit peel, yuzu peel, or a small sansho accent fits the established flavor profile better than a heavily floral garnish.
