Lot #416. Nikka Whisky Coffey Grain NV

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Region: Japan, Hokkaido.
Score: 92 WhA.
"Sweet, with subtle, crisp, nutty oak, then comes fudge, ripe banana, and peach. The overall effect is like eating vanilla ice cream with toffee fudge and hazelnut sprinkles. The structure is thick and physical, the palate sweet and quite fat, with light hints of raspberry, fruit salad. A jag of acidity freshens the delivery on the finish. With water there’s more toffee, and it becomes slightly more yielding, with less oak. For me the gold standard of grain." Whisky Advocate, DB, Fall 2015
Provenance: The Comète Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $60
