Style: Fruity and Spicy
Nose:
Fragrant apple and pear drops burst into scene with dazzling sweetness. A very pure and clean aroma… Strolling on spring glass and along meadow bank. Delicious lychee martini, with a touch of enthusiastic ginger and peppermint spice. Slightly drying towards the end.
Palate:
More frisky fruity notes, a clean interchange of fresh green apples and sweet red apples. Feisty cedar wood strikes early with an edge of bitterness, orange zest stringing a hint of tropical fruits. All sweetness slowly converges at the back to hit a sweet spot, yum! Powerful spice running rampant around the field till the end.
Finish:
Oaky bitterness still biding its time, more fruity gestures mixing in like a cocktail punchbowl.
Thoughts:
Very bright and sparkling whisky from Miyagikyo. Delicate, light character with a cheerful tone. Charming fruits which can easily win you over any day. The oaky, bitter bite comes in a bit too strong, too soon to my taste. But nonetheless a very lively dram.
