Purity, precision, harmony: the Nikka Coffey - Vodka - 40°C is an ode to aromatic clarity, carried by Japanese craftsmanship and the mastery of high-grade distillation. Designed for connoisseurs seeking a pure, expressive spirit, it appeals as much to contemplative tasters as to creators of signature cocktails. Its style stands out with a silky texture and a bright freshness, the result of meticulous work on raw materials and distillation in a Coffey still, a technical hallmark of great finesse. Both delicate and self-assured, this vodka balances the softness of the grain with a sharply defined aromatic profile, where hints of citrus and vanilla appear. It offers an elegant response to contemporary expectations—taste precision, immediate pleasure and creative potential—making it a must-have in the spirits cabinet at the intersection of artisanal rigour and lifestyle.

Blend and vinification

Made from a blend of selected cereals, mainly corn and barley, this vodka is distilled in a Coffey still, an emblematic technology that preserves the soul of the grain while refining texture. The distillation, carried out with great care, seeks purity and balance to deliver a clear palate without sacrificing aromatic depth. Filtration through white birch charcoal, performed delicately, polishes the spirit and softens the edges, imparting a satiny smoothness and a very gentle tactile sensation. Each step is designed to preserve the clarity of the distillate, the sharpness of the aromas and the precision of the finish, in an aesthetic where restraint prevails over excess. The 40% alcohol strength highlights the grain expression and glass presence, while the 70 cl format suits both neat tastings and the most refined bar creations.

Tasting notes

• Appearance : Crystal clear and bright, with a luminous sheen—signature of precise distillation and controlled filtration.
• Nose : Fresh opening on delicate citrus, evoking zest and pulp, lifted by a subtle touch of vanilla and a distinct sense of purity.
• Palate : Soft, velvety attack, enveloping texture, a perfectly balanced core between grain sweetness and aromatic clarity, with a long, clean finish and a lemony caress.

Serving temperature and tips

Serve well chilled to enhance the precision of its texture and the delicacy of its aromas. For neat tasting, prefer a brandy or spirit glass or a small tumbler—ideal to appreciate the spirit’s fluidity and uprightness. In mixology, it blends effortlessly into minimalist recipes where every detail matters, whether a crystal-clear martini with pure attack, an airy highball lifted by a fine sparkling water, or an original creation that contrasts vanilla softness with citrus brightness. A brief airing in the glass helps reveal more of the distillate’s finesse and the persistence of the finish.

Food pairings

• Aperitifs : caviar, quality taramasalata, cured salmon, blinis with light cream.
• Starters : white fish sashimi, scallop carpaccio, fine oysters with citrus zest.
