Whisky Nikka Miyagikyo Discovery Aromatic Yeast

The Whisky Nikka Miyagikyo Discovery Aromatic Yeast is a unique expression resulting from the technical exploration of the Miyagikyo distillery in Japan. This special edition focuses on the crucial influence of yeast during the fermentation process, forgoing peated character to highlight the purity and aromatic complexity of the Single Malt.

The production of this unpeated version favors specific yeasts that encourage the development of delicately fruity and floral nuances. The result is a sensory experience that evokes the atmosphere of a washback in full fermentation, maintaining a solid malty base that evolves with elegance in the glass.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Refined and exuberant, with notes of lavender, marshmallow, and malted barley, evolving into peach, pear, and a touch of lemon meringue tart.
• Palate: Radiant and balanced, featuring rich brioche, acacia honey, and the herbaceous freshness of a barley field.
• Finish: Long and silky, marked by flavors of herbal teas such as sage and chamomile, with a spicy touch of fresh ginger.

This whisky is a celebration of Nikka’s technical mastery, ideal to be enjoyed neat or on the rocks, allowing the layers of flavor to reveal themselves gradually.
