About

What People Are Saying
Nikka Coffey Malt is frequently called "the goat" of Nikka's lineup by Reddit enthusiasts. Described as "banana bread with dark chocolate chips" and "one of my favorites," it earns consistently high praise. Reviewers note it as "very smooth" with brown sugar and butterscotch sweetness. Made from 100% malted barley on Coffey (continuous) stills, it technically classifies as grain whisky despite using malt, which is a fun conversation point in the community. The main complaint is price: "a bit on the pricier side" at $70 to $90 in the US.
