This is a special edition of single malt from the Miyagikyo distillery, Nikka's second distillery built in 1969. The founder Masataka Taketsuru, know as the father of Japanese whisky, chose this site in the mountains of Sendai to contrast with his first distillery, Yoichi, located in the coastal area.

Description
Nose: Nose: Young, zesty and vibrant. Floral, sweet vanilla mixed with honey suckle and marzipan. A much bigger sherry influence, with a sugary sweet cream, and some light raisin and grape notes. Approachable and bright – a much improved nose compared to the standard release.
Palate: Palate: Baked pastry, almond, black pepper, and a burst of citrus zest. Bready quality reminiscent of apple pie and sweet bread. Milk chocolate and buttery shortbread. Excellent mouthfeel, creamy and rich.
Finish: Finish: Medium length finish that clings to the mouth. More pastry dough and honey mixed with a gentle woodiness.
ABV 48%
