Nikka Coffey Grain Whisky 70cl

Tasting Profile
Nose: Vanilla custard, ripe banana, and a touch of coconut, rich and inviting.
Palate: Smooth and velvety. Corn sweetness, milk chocolate, tropical fruit, and gentle spice glide across the tongue.
Finish: Light but lingering. Soft oak, caramel, and a whisper of citrus zest.

Serving Suggestions
Neat or with a few drops of water. For cocktails: an Old Fashioned with orange bitters or a whisky highball over block ice with a twist of lemon.
