TASTING NOTES
NOSE
Vivid and immediately captivating — fresh peach and apricot dominate in a beautifully concentrated stone fruit bouquet, lifted by vanilla, lemon curd, and a whisper of bubblegum sweetness — Miyagikyo's signature floral elegance amplified by the aromatic yeast into something gloriously, almost impossibly fruity.
PALATE
Soft and luxuriously creamy — peach, apricot, and candied stone fruit lead with vanilla, honey, and a gentle citrus brightness, the yeast-driven esteriness bringing a candy-like vibrancy that is sweet, playful, and deeply satisfying without ever feeling cloying.
FINISH
Medium-long, clean, and fruit-forward — peach, lemon curd, and vanilla fading gracefully with a soft floral warmth — the most elegant and accessible close in the Nikka Discovery Series.
