Production of Nikka’s Coffey Grain

The production of Coffey Grain follows the highest standards. The whisky is based on high-quality grains sourced from selected origins. The production process includes the following steps:

1. Ingredient selection: High-quality corn and wheat form the basis of the whisky.
2. Mashing: The grains are soaked and heated to convert the starch into sugar.
3. Fermentation: Yeast cultures convert the sugar into alcohol, resulting in a fruity first run.
4. Distillation: This step takes place in special Coffey stills, which distill the whisky evenly and gently.
5. Maturation: The distilled whisky matures in selected oak casks, which lend it depth and character.

The combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern techniques results in a distinctive whisky that embodies Nikka’s heritage.
