Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with mahogany and copper highlights, a smoky, dusky glow.
Nose
Soft peat smoke drifts over ripe orchard fruit, vanilla and caramel, with toasted barley and cocoa nibs adding depth. A whisper of leather and sea air lingers, shaping a smoky, mellow invitation.
Palate
Silky, medium-bodied and softly smoky, this Nikka blends Yoichi’s peat with Miyagikyo’s fruit. Vanilla, caramel and warm barley cloak the palate, with cocoa and a hint of citrus keeping it bright. The smoke remains elegant and subtle, delivering a creamy, honeyed sweetness and a long, refined ember finish.
Finish
A long, smoky finish that lingers with peat, vanilla and honey, tapering to a soft fruitiness and a warm, mellow fade.
