Nikka Coffey Vodka is distilled from corn and malted barley at the Miyagikyo Distillery near Sendai. The secret behind this vodka is the unique flavor generated by Coffey stills (named after its inventory Aeneas Coffey), which were imported from Scotland in 1963 and yield a distillate with more rich texture than modern column stills.

The warehouses where the Nikka Miyagikyo Single Malt is matured and bottled stand in a valley overlooking the Pacific Ocean, and this single malt's light and fruity flavors with sea spray hints reflect the rich nature of the environment. By combining our traditional expertise and natural resources with modern techniques, we have created a new style of Japanese Whisky - Producer Description
