The nose is immediately greeted by a sweet vanilla note, as if you were biting into a freshly baked slice of bee sting cake. Caramel and a light spiciness are added, followed by a surprising fruitiness: ripe banana, floral notes and a hint of exotic funk.
The first sip confirms the impression from the nose: malty and nutty, with clear roasted flavours reminiscent of hazelnuts. A creamy texture provides a pleasant mouthfeel, while light hay and honey notes add a subtle sweetness. The whole remains accessible and round without becoming too complicated - a whisky that doesn't show off.
Here, the Nikka Coffey Malt shows a more reserved side. The flavours fade quickly, but leave behind a pleasant spiciness as well as light fruit notes and vanilla. A little crispy perhaps, but overall a clean, albeit short finish.
