Nikka Coffey Gin (75cl, 47%)

Nikka Coffey Gin runs Japanese botanicals through the famed Coffey stills behind Nikka's celebrated grain whisky. The continuous Coffey stills give this gin an unusually silky, rounded base, over which sit yuzu, kabosu, amanatsu and shikuwasa citrus with tingling sansho pepper alongside juniper. Bottled at 47% ABV, it is one of the benchmark Japanese gins. It is vivid Japanese citrus led by yuzu over soft juniper, with a gentle sansho-pepper tingle and a silky, rounded texture from the Coffey-still base. Stunning in a gin and tonic or citrus-forward martini.
