Nikka operates two Coffey stills (named after its inventor, Aeneas Coffey) within the Miyagikyo distillery, for the elaboration of its grain whiskies. Imported from Scotland in 1963, these old stills yield a distillate with more flavour and depth than modern column stills, imparting a distinct character that defines the house blends. This particular coffey grain is a 1999 edition release presented with a wooden box. For those who like grain whisky, this is excellent stuff!
