Nikka Coffey Malt Whisky

Ok so this one is a bit of a head twister, it’s a grain whisky but made using malted barley! Nikka (Miyagikyo) distillery in Japan have created a grain whisky are using the same malted barley we would expect to enjoy as a single malt. How? Rather than put their brew into a pot still they’ve instead opted for a continuous, or column still. Expect a lot more flavour however, this column still isn’t one of the modern jobs used to make vodka but rather a loving recreation of the earliest continuous still as invented (or stolen from Stein if you’re Scottish) by the Irish exciseman Aeneas Coffey
