Nikka Coffey Gin

The first of the big Japanese gins to be readily available in the U.S., the Nikka Coffey Gin sets a high standard. It’s bursting with sweet-tart citrus flavors that seem familiar that resist identification, like an old tune played on strange instruments. That’s the yuzu, but also the shikuwasa (“flat lemon”), amanatsu (a pomelo relative) and kabosu. We might credit the Sichuan pepper–like sansho with the long, dry, tingling finish.
