Nikka Miyagikyo Single Malt

Hearty sherry spices with a nice smokiness on the back end

Dulce y calido con final seco. Recuerdo frutal de paso por barrica de mizunara. Nota de frutos secos también presente. Muy bueno

Color: light gold N: Rancid, cherry, caramel P: Peated, stinky, peppery, F: Spicy, nutty, flat

I had this whilst on a rare overnighter which meant I was back at my favorite whiskey bar with a couple of mates. Nose was interesting. I got bubblegum scent and on the palate floral and light honey and vanilla. To busy chatting to gather much more but nice dram, one of the better japanese offerings I've had in the price range. 3.5 to 3.75. Update: Another year another sample. Smells almost like mild mescal. 3.5 I reckon lower range of what i once thought.
