Still pretty full from lunch but I felt like a little #nikkawhisky tonight, the 12 year old #miyagikyo is just such a great #instdram and the #yoichi apple brandy finish is just a fun NAS #whisky. If you can find it at retail definitely grab one and drink it. #singlemalt #japanesewhisky #singlemaltwhisky @nikkawhisky_hk @nikkawhiskyusa @nikkawhiskyeu @nikkawhiskytw . . . . #rolexwhisky #whiskygeek #whiskytasting #whiskytime #whiskylover #whiskyblogger #whiskywayoflife #japanesewhiskyporn #japanesewhiskylover #sandiego #nikkawhiskyjapan #nikkawhiskyyoichidistillery (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/COooEwADwHu/?igshid=1665jb538h0y9

Miyagikyo NAS.

Comfortable malty soak into tongue. Slightly sulfury then yogurt sour, pear and other orchard fruits with roast malty aroma. Calm estery fragrance. With smooth mouthfeel, dry malty and burnt nuance, acridity, honey, spicy malty and herb flavor. Palate continues to finish, hint of burnt nuance and intense honey, bitter sweet malty and sharp spices remains shortly.

Nikka Miyagikyo

Review by: Raygun The other Nikka distillery, Miyagikyo was established in 1969 in the Tohoku area of Japan, about an hour from Sendai. Unlike Yoichi, which does mainly peated, Miyagikyo uses lightly peated and unpeated malt for the most part, aiming for a lighter style. A lot goes into Nikka blends, but some is sold as a single malt. This NAS expression has mostly replaced anything age-stated,…

Distillery Visit: Nikka Miyagikyo

I visited the Nikka Miyagikyo distillery on a recent trip to Japan, and here’s my account. Tours are free, but need to be reserved in advance on the website. There’s also a paid seminar with a more extensive tasting included, but I didn’t look into and I don’t know if a translation is available.   The distillery itself is out in pretty much the middle of nowhere. Driving would be an option, but…
