Nikka Coffey Grain Whisky. Sendai, Japan. Tasted at Helvetica, $19.
Colour: Bright caramel.
Nose: Toffee sweet medicinal notes.
Palate: Soft soft smooooth. Hints of creaming soda, buttery creamy goodness.
Finish: I don’t want it to finish. But it is smooth, oily & mouth coating; has a very gentle warmth.
Comments: I’m a foodie, but corn is one of only four foods that I don’t like. Finally something made from corn that I like. I could gnaw at this Nikka Coffey corn cob all day!!
