Nikka Miyagikyo Single Malt

Smokey, light and a lot of citrus. Good sherry notes on the nose but not a lot of depth. Easy drink despite a little initial burn.

Another class act from probably the most consistent distillery here in Japan. The age statement versions are now impossible to find. Even the nas version takes some serious hunting down. Miyagikyo is deep, lush, rich, with hints of tropical fruit, dried fruit, a touch grassy, an almond, hazelnut and herbal note, and a decent touch of peat. Lovely stuff.

smoky and with a burn. needs a little water to open up.
