From Nikka's Miyagikyo distillery this no-age-statement was launched in 2016 to replace their dwindling aged-expressions but became just as hard to find within a few years. Produced from a vatting of different years, lightly/medium peated and matured in a combination of American oak and sherried casks. Bottled at 45%.
Nose: Full and rich with floral notes, tropical fruit, beeswax and hints of wood smoke.
Palate: Malt focused, with cinnamon and ginger spiciness, chocolate and tobacco.
Finish: Long and soft. Tobacco fades to leave spiced, stewed fruit.
