About Nikka Gin

Nikka distils its gin at the Japanese whisky house's same Coffey stills, normally used mainly for continuous grain distillation, giving the gin a softer, rounder character than most pot-still gins. Botanicals like yuzu, kabosu and sansho pepper add a clear Japanese signature that sets Nikka Coffey Gin apart from classic European styles.

History & Background

Nikka Whisky, founded by Masataka Taketsuru, is one of Japan's most respected spirits producers and has long used its Coffey stills from the Miyagikyo distillery for more than just whisky. With Nikka Coffey Gin, the house extended its expertise into the gin category and managed to create something that still feels distinctly Japanese rather than a copy of a Western style.

Production & Style

The gin is continuously distilled in a Coffey still with a wide range of botanicals, including Japanese citrus like yuzu and kabosu plus sansho pepper, giving a unique combination of citrus freshness and light spiced warmth.

Signature Style

Citrusy, Round, Japanese
A round, soft gin with pronounced Japanese citrus from yuzu and kabosu and a light, tingling warmth from sansho pepper.
