The Whisky Miyagikyo Discovery Peated by Nikka represents a Japanese excellence with a smoky soul, the result of the distilling art of the Miyagi region, in northern Japan. Made primarily with peated malted barley, this single malt is characterized by a refined balance between the typical sweetness of Japanese spirits and the enveloping intensity of the peat smoke, which unfolds with delicate notes of wood smoke and ash.
The Miyagikyo distillery, nestled among the mountains of Sendai, benefits from a cool climate and pure waters, essential elements to give the whisky a unique aromatic purity. The aging takes place in American and European oak barrels, which provide softness and elegant complexity, enriched by light fruity and spicy nuances.
On the nose, you can perceive peat scents balanced by floral and vanilla notes, while on the palate the body is full and well-structured, leaving a persistent smoky aftertaste. Perfect to enjoy neat or with a splash of water to fully release its aromas, it pairs wonderfully with smoked fish dishes, grilled meats, and aged cheeses. A sensory experience that celebrates Japanese mastery in the art of whisky.
