Nikka Miyagikyo Single Malt 70cl

DESCRIPTION

The Japanese single malt from the Miyagikyo distillery is a young no-age-statement version. Soft, fruity and spicy, it is perfect as an aperitif.

TASTING NOTES

• Color: old gold
• Nose: refined and rich. Very floral, it moves into blond tobacco tones. This leaves room for soft spices, then leather and beeswax. A touch of salt. Notes of citrus fruit preserve. A fine balance between sweetness and bitterness is achieved
• Palate: firm and unctuous. Coco powder, almonds and cashew nuts dominate at first. Peppery and mineral, it develops tones of incense and ripe fruit
• Finish: long, serene. Dried grass and sunflower are coupled with exotic fruit, gentian and flowers. It also moves from fresh to grilled nut flavours
