Nikka - Single Malt Miyagikyo Aromatic Yeast
After the remarkable Miyagikyo Single Malt Peated launched in 2021, the magic behind this unpeated version comes from the use of yeasts that encourage the development of delicately fruity aromas and flavours. An invitation to dive quite literally into a washback in the midst of fermentation, it begins first by laying the foundations of a deeply malty character. Then, as the tasting unfolds, deliciously luscious, floral, rich and even fruity sequences interweave with one another, like dissolving transitions in a film.
The nose brings aromas of lavender, marshmallow, peach, pear, apricot, vanilla, coconut and summer flowers, complemented by notes of green ferns, freshly-baked brioche, white peaches, pears, acacia honey and sea salt on the palate. The finish is filled with lingering notes of chamomile tea, freshly cut grass, fiery ginger and pear blossom.
