Maltiply Tasting Profile
Nose
The set offers a rich and complex aroma, with Miyagikyo presenting notes of grapes, vanilla, and stone fruits, while Yoichi contributes dark chocolate, subtle earthiness, and its signature peat and smoke.
Palate
Both whiskies are full-bodied; Miyagikyo delivers buttery textures, white pepper, ginger, and baked oranges, while Yoichi provides black pepper, mild oak, and a waxy mouthfeel with hints of honeydew and roasted barley.
Finish
The finish is medium to long, with Miyagikyo offering ginger caramel and warmth, and Yoichi concluding with dirty caramel, pepper, and lingering peat and smoke.
