Nikka Miyagikyo Discovery Aromatic Yeast – Discovery Series
This rare version of Miyagikyo single malt is part of the “Nikka Discovery” series: an inside look at the different experiments during the whiskey making process at Nikka. The emphasis is on the use of the yeasts, allowing this expression to enhance the fruity aromas and flavors of peach and apricot.

Delicate, fruity. Apricot, lavender, pastries.

Taste note Nikka Miyagikyo Discovery Aromatic Yeast
Nose – Sophisticated and warm. The very exuberant first draft shows some subtle licorice and luscious malted barley. When you breathe through the nose, the juicy scents of flowering meadows and fruits embrace the nose. Gradually notes of vanilla, coconut milk and lemon meringue pie emerge.

Taste – Radiant and balanced. The drink has a full body and is initially refreshingly spicy. Very delicate, the palette becomes pleasantly rich. Then white peaches and pears release their juices on the taste buds, while acacia honey spreads over the sides of the palate.

Finish– Long, silky. Starts with fresh herbal flavours. After that, notice the grains of salt. The menthol-like, very slightly smoky and spicy retro-nasal fragrance gradually reveals subtle floral notes, while the empty glass exudes subtle fermentation aromas.
