NIKKA THE GRAIN is composed of old Coffey grains (corn and malted barley) and Coffey malts (100% malted barley) from the now closed Nishinomiya distillery, as well as Coffey grains and Coffey malts from Miyagikyo.

The finishing touches are added by Barley Grain (malted and unmalted barley) and Barley Grain and Corn & Rye (malted barley, corn, rye), all distilled in pot stills at the Moji and Satsumatsukasa distilleries, which originally specialized in Shochu production.

Each spirit was carefully selected from these four sites. Bottled at 48% ABV, NIKKA THE GRAIN reveals a creamy texture and complex palette of complementary aromas. The ivory white label is design like a canvas. Each of the four lines symbolizes the unique
aromatic input of the four distilleries.
