Nikka Miyagikyo Moscatel Finish (2017 Release)
Single Malt
Miyagikyo // Japan
This Miyagikyo single malt is exclusive to Japan, released on September 26th, 2017. This and a Yoichi expression were finished in Portuguese Moscatel wine casks. Only 1,500 bottles of each were released, with one-third of those making it to stores.
The rest were distributed via wholesalers, to bars, and establishments across the country. Needless to say, both releases quickly sold out. .

Tasting Notes
"The Moscatel influence enhances the dried fruit and sweetness of the Miyagikyo base. Muscat grapes, honey, and sweet oak aromas bring a palate of sweet and dry fruit. A strong bitterness comes through, lasting all the way through the long, full finish."
