Recipe information

Make Nikka Coffey Gin in just 20m. Coffey Gin’s complexity is achieved through the perfect balance between 11 selected botanicals and the silky texture of Coffey distillates. Nose: The bright and zesty aroma originating from four kinds of Japanese citruses, Yuzu, Kabosu, Amanatsu and Shequasar. Taste: Traditional Gin botanicals of juniper berries, angelica, coriander seeds, lemon and orange peels. Finish: There is also a touch of apples, followed by pleasantly tangy hints of green Japanese Sansho pepper on the finish.
