Nikka Discovery Miyagikyo Peated Whisky | 700ML

Whisky: Nikka Discovery Miyagikyo Peated | 700ML

When we talk about whisky from Yoichi and Miyagikyo, we generally expect the former to be heavier and richer, with layers of peat smoke throughout, and the latter to be lighter with fruity and floral tones. However, for the exciting new Discovery Series, Nikka appear to have flipped the switch.

The Miyagikyo Peated was created using peated malt and, as stated on the back label, offers a pleasant surprise that overturns the preconceived floral and fruity image of Miyagikyo. Instead, it will bring a boldness made of rich flavours that combine with the instantly recognisable peat smoke to create a whisky that is worlds apart from what we are used to from the distillery. As a result, this is set to be a truly intriguing release and one that we know millions around the world will be keen to try. Like the Yoichi, it opens the door for a vastly different array of bottlings from the distillery and this could change the landscape of Nikka whiskies forever, which is something that we can all get excited about.
