Nikka Whisky Single Malt Miyagikyo Peated Nikka Discovery 2021

One of two releases launched in late 2021 as part of the Nikka Discovery series, the Miyagikyo Peated single malt is made using peated malts, showing off the distillery's repertoire of smoky flavours. Aromas of toast, dry peat smoke, ripe figs and tropical fruit fill the nose. As for the 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 culminating in a long and balanced finish. Tangy flavours of ripe fruit slowly spread across the taste buds. The empty glass precisely replicates the aromas of cigar, wildflowers and black liquorice.
