The Coffey Malt is excellent at about $75, and is a blended malt from Nikka don't be fooled by the name Coffey, that does not refer to coffee but instead to the guy who invented the column still they use.
Nikka is another of my favorite Japanese distilleries and was founded by one of Suntory's employees Masataka Taketsuru who decided to go out on his own and start a competitor. Their 18's are even better but as you can imagine are creeping into four figure territory these days. If you have the opportunity I highly recommend Yamazaki 12 ($250), which is the flagship whisky from Suntory's oldest distillery in Japan (unpeated), or Hakushu 12 ($200), which is from Suntory's newer mountain distillery and is very delicately peated. Suntory is the oldest distillery in Japan and was heavily influenced by Scotch techniques, but reinvented for a more delicate Japanese palate. Toki ($30, cheap blend) or Hibiki ($90, good blend) are good starters and introduce you to the Mizunara oak note characteristic of some of the real whiskies. I personally recommend anything by Suntory.
I'll put price estimates for So Cal, where you are may vary.

Taketsuru, a connoisseur of the technique, was very meticulous in his choice of each natural site, taking into account the resources of the area, the air and the natural environment in general in order to achieve a top quality whisky. He started his own Whisky Nikka, and his two subsequent distilleries in the Yoichi and Miyagikyo area (precisely two of the whiskies we have in our online shop today).
This led him to return to his homeland, Japan, to build the first Japanese whisky distillery in Asia about 6 years after his trip. His stay in this place was very picturesque and he was captivated by the whisky of the area and its main characteristics.

Well, this whisky, which many chose as the best, was not exactly from Scotland, but… from Japan! Its name? Nikka, and this month we present it to you on the Oriental Market blog.
