Nikka, Miyagikyo Japanese Single Malt Whisky (700ml)
Nikka, Miyagikyo Japanese Single Malt Whisky
45% ABV
Replacing the previous NAS Miyagikyo single malt as well as the remaining age statement expressions, this single release will represent the distillery going forward as demand for Japanese whisky remains as strong as ever.
The new single malt is said to be made with whiskies spanning various ages (hinting at the inclusion of older whiskies than the previous NAS release) with classic delicate, floral character and primarily ex-Sherry casks used for maturation.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Full and rich with floral notes, tropical fruit, beeswax and hints of wood smoke.
Palate: Malt focused, with cinnamon and ginger spiciness, chocolate and tobacco.
Finish: Long and soft. Tobacco fades to leave spiced, stewed fruit.
