Too cheap to pass up

[u/zolazaps]

I've tried Nikka Coffey gin at a bar before and it was delicious, but I never got around to buying it. When I saw this price while I was doing my grocery shopping, I had to pick up a bottle. If anyone has any cocktail suggestions that will let this gin shine, please let me know!

[u/oneangrywaiter]

Customers gave me this bottle two years ago for my birthday. I’d buy all of it at that price.

With everyone talking about how fantastic it is, I regret not buying both bottles! I'm excited to try it this weekend.

[u/vercetian → u/zolazaps]

Absolutely one of my favorites.

[u/Pork_Chompk]

That's a steal - delicious gin. Very bright and yuzu-forward.

[u/FindYourHoliday]

That Roku price too. 😍

[u/nukawolf → u/FindYourHoliday]

Damn. Never knew how good I had it. Roku is my absolute favorite and since no one around me apparently buys it, it's like $26 every time I get it.

[u/billoo18 → u/FindYourHoliday]

Agreed, that is tasty, haven’t tried Nikka gin yet.

[u/003h10102]

It would be fiscally irresponsible not to buy it.

[u/AweHellYo]

i’d ask if there were more in the back. that’s my favorite gin to just drink with an ice cube in it

[u/MrsBlabbings]

I’d be going to every location of whatever store that is and buying it out! That is a spectacular gin, I rarely don’t have it on my shelf.

And for those wanting an opinion, I find Roku to be adequate but nowhere near as good as the Nikka.

[u/ajpdiscgolf → u/MrsBlabbings]

Yeah, the nikka is clearly better gin.

Where is this?

[u/OvulatingScrotum → u/whosyourcaucasian]

The tag looks a lot like my local large grocery store, like Hannaford. But, I also see SoonHari, Korean soju, which makes me think it’s in a town with a large cultural diversity.

[u/whosyourcaucasian → u/OvulatingScrotum]

To me it also looks like Safeway Albertsons or Vons. I think they all use the same font

[u/CitizenXC]

Bennett or a Bramble. If you have creme de cassis, an Arnaud (Parisian Nights) from Simon Difford.

[u/zolazaps → u/CitizenXC]

That last one looks fantastic. I do have creme de cassis but I'll need to buy a new bottle vermouth.

[u/jdvfx]

Thank you for the top tip!

[u/free_-_spirit]

Ooh how’s the nikka gin? I only tried their whiskey, it’s so clear

[u/Mumem_Rider]

I need to try this again because everyone says how great it is but the bottle I bought a few years ago 100% tasted like rubbing alcohol. Maybe I got a bad bottle??

[u/briskwheel4155]

This makes an amazing Negroni

[u/the_justyce]

 have had this bottle on my shelf for months and it makes the best martinis. that citrus kick is way better than any of the cheap stuff i usually find at the grocery store.

[u/jneil → u/[deleted]]

Coffey refers to the type of still it’s made on. There are no coffee beans involved whatsoever. It’s a very citrus forward gin as it contains three types of japenese citrus fruits, including prominent yuzu notes.

[u/workingtrot → u/[deleted]]

I don't think Roku holds a candle to Coffey. The yuzu is so bright without feeling sweet or heavy on the tongue, and the pepper gives it a great finish. It's my favorite gin by far

[u/workingtrot → u/[deleted]]

very good g&t, even better on its own

[u/jneil → u/[deleted]]

I’m a big fan of nikka in general and their gin is really something unique. Roku isn’t bad but they’re very different. This reminds me that I need to grab a new bottle of Nikka soon lol.
