Yuzu comes through very nicely. I cannot think of any similar gin to compare. I am slightly sad it is so delicious and also $80/bottle.
Agreed, I love the Nikka coffey gin. I bought my second bottle a few weeks ago.
What is interesting about it as well is the long peppery finish (subtle yet noticeable). I love the fact that it incorporates all these interesting uniquely Japanese flavors, but is very restrained at the same time. It makes delicious sours - I used my first bottle to make Southsides mostly.
Luckily it is only about $50 in California! (It doesn't come in the fancy cardboard packaging though... 
)
