Description

A bottling from Nikka's Discover Series, this Miyagikyo expression explores the effects of yeasts on the final product. A Japanese whisky distillery owned by the Nikka Whisky Distilling Co and the second built by Masataka Taketsuru. It primarily produces lightly- and non-peated malts and as of 1999 has also distilled malt and grain whiskies on the old Nishinomia Coffey stills. This rare version of Miyagikyo single malt is part of the 'Nikka Discovery' series, focusing on the use of yeast to enhance fruity aromas and flavors of peach and apricot. The Single Malt Miyagikyo Aromatic Yeast is non-chill filtered and bottled at 47% ABV to best enhance its unique characteristics, focusing on the distinctive aroma produced by the different yeasts used in the fermentation process.

Special release
Part of the 'Nikka Discovery Series' focusing on the distinctive aroma produced by different yeasts during fermentation.
Allocation
US (2,640 bottles)
Nose
Refined, warmth. The very exuberant first nose also shows some subtle liquorice and lush malted barley. Allowed to breathe, succulent perfumes of blooming meadow and fruits (peach, pear, apricot) are embraced in the scent. Gradually notes of vanilla, coconut milk and lemon meringue tart emerge.
Palate
Radiant, well-balanced. The full-bodied spirit is at first refreshingly herbaceous (barley field, fern). Very delicately, the mid-palate becomes pleasantly rich (fresh brioche, baguette). Next, white peaches and pears release their deliciously tangy juice onto the taste buds as acacia honey spreads voluptuously around the sides of the palate.
Finish
Long, silky. Incredibly fresh taste of herbal tea (sage, chamomile, verbena) crosses at the beginning. Then, grains of salt are carefully placed on a bed of cut grass. The mentholated, very slightly empyreumatic (smoking cigar) and spicy (fresh ginger) retro-nasal smell gradually reveals subtle floral notes (pearwood, lily of the valley) while the empty glass releases subtle fermentation aromas.
