Nikka Discovery Miyagikyo Peated Single Malt 48% 2021
Nikka Miyagikyo Discovery Peated
Single Malt 48% 2021
This rare version of Miyagikyo single malt is part of the "Nikka Discovery" series: an inside look at the various experiments made during the whisky making process at Nikka. Focusing on the diversity of ingredients available at the distillery, this expression is crafted solely from batches of peated malt and offers a pleasant surprise that overtones the preconceived "light and fruity" image of Miyagikyo
Nose: Rich and complex. Subtle notes of toast, dry peat and twigs highlight the distinguished character of the first nose.
Palate: Distinguished and dynamic. The attack is just as exotic, while also revealing both honeyed and floral notes. As for the peat, it finesses itself into every nook and cranny. Covered in a fine layer of ash, the mid-palate is deeply rootly allowing the expression of a reflecting minerality.
Finish: Long and well-balanced. At the start of the finish, a chocolate, vanilla and spicy peat takes centra-stage. Tangy flavours of ripe fruit slowly spread across the taste buds. The empty glass preciesely replicate the aromas of cigar, wildflowers and black liquorice.
