Nikka Miyagikyo Apple Brandy Wood Finish
Single Malt 47% 2020
Celebration the 100th anniversary of Masataka & Rita´s marriage.
The 8th of January 1920, Nikka´s founder Masataka Takesturu married Jessie Roberta Cowan, better known as Rita, in Glasgow. This year Nikka wishes to commemorate their 100th wedding anniversary with this Limited Edition. The Miyagikyo single malt has been finished in Apple Brandy barrels and bottled in 2020. Apples are strong symbol for Nikka and iften assiociated with the relationship between Rita & Masataka Takesturu, as he started his business activity with the production of apple juice and jams while awaiting for maturation of his first whiskies.
Nose: Full and rich in the glass, fresh apples and juicy pear aromas characterises this whisky - but the malt is not far with notes of cereal and leather. Then, another wave of fruit carries away scents of banana and juicy peach.
Palate: The first attack is elegant and silky. This whisky fully expresses a concentrate of fruit that brings even more consistency. With great subtlety, a lightly peaty flavour appears along with a well-balanced notes of wood, marked by sherry.
Finish: A long and complex finish with flavours of white fruit such as pears that create an excellent contrast with the notes of toasted bread. A hint od well-balanced liqourice and vanilla notes at the end.
