About Nikka Coffey Gin: 47% ABV

Nikka Coffey Gin’s complexity is achieved through by balancing 11 selected botanicals and the silky texture of Coffey distillates (made with a Coffey Alambic).
The bright and zesty aroma originating from four kinds of Japanese citruses, Yuzu, Kabosu, Amanatsu and Shequasar, compliments the traditional gin botanicals of juniper berries, angelica, coriander seeds, lemon, and orange peels.
There is also a touch of apple, a fruit deeply related to the history of Nikka, followed by tangy hints of green Japanese Sansho pepper on the finish.
A perfect Gin for a Gimlet cocktail!
