As the name suggests, this Japanese gin is based on a corn and barley distillate made using a Vintage Coffey column still with botanicals including Japanese citrus fruits: Yuzu, Kabosu, Amanatsu and Shikuwasa, along with apples and Japanese Sansho pepper.

Named after its inventor Aeneas Coffey, the 2-column continuous Coffey still used to make this vodka was imported to Japan from Scotland in 1963.
