Nikka Miyagikyo 12 Year Single Malt 70cl

Nikka Miyagikyo 12 Year Old Single Malt Whisky, Japan

Producer Tasting Note:

Colour: Strong amber Nose: Full & tight with a touch of toffee and pecan, the signs of ageing in quality sherry oak. It develops into floral aromas and moves onto oriental spices (coriander). Palate: Rich, marked by the sherry, with remarkable thickness conveying chocolate and coffee. A certain saltiness can be detected owing to the ageing in sherry casks. Finish: Long and warm, invigorating. This solid whisky is sturdy but also shows real finesse

Critic's Tasting Note:

"The first impression is of dried apricot compote, pomegranate, sweet persimmon, a little touch of anise, then herbs and strawberry. Quite creamy, with fine structure and, with water, cappuccino and quince jelly. There's a hint of char on the palate to start, then the sweetness returns, making the mid-palate distinctly peachy, with added poached orchard fruits. Broad and quite elegant, with a smooth delivery. Water lightens things, allowing more floral elements to develop. Versatile."
