Nikka Miyagikyo Discovery Aromatic Yeast Japanese Whisky – 70cl
Launched in 2021 as Nikka Whisky approaches its 90th anniversary, the Discovery Series was created to highlight the key stages in the creation of its single malts, Yoichi and Miyagikyo.
The 2022 edition focuses on the specific influence of yeast in the flavour profile of the whiskies. Yoichi Discovery Aromatic Yeast reveals a floral and fruity universe strongly marked by the characteristic peat of the distillery located on the island of Hokkaido.
TASTING NOTES
Nose: The saline peat takes over both the fruity aromas of apple, pear and yellow melon, as well as the floral aromas of lily and carnation.
Palate: The peaty side is reinforced as well as the fruity and floral aromas with the appearance of notes of mirabelle plum and greengage and tulip and cyclamen.
Finish: Long finish. Notes of plum and licorice coated by a peat which evolves towards smoked notes.
ABV 48%
