ABV 45%.
The most subtle and least peated single malt by Nikka comes from the Miyagikyo distillery on the island of Honshu. This unique and charming 15 years old single malt reveals the beautiful influence of oak and sherry.
Nose: Nutty notes (nut oil) and spices, it reveals the influence of the sherry barrels used. With its pronounced rancio, it unveils fine notes of honey and field flowers (elderberry, clover).
Palate: Round and calm, marked by the softness of Malaga raisins, as well as strong oak tannins (green walnuts) and ginger.
Finish: A fine example of a whisky aged in sherry casks, with a nourishing and charming side to it.
