Nikka Miyagikyo Apple Brandy Wood Finish Single Malt Japanese Whisky 2020 Edition

To celebrate its founder 100th wedding anniversary, Nikka released this special single malt, finished in apple brandy barrels at Miyagikyo Distillery. Bottled at 94 proof, this is a light, sweet expression with notes of apples enhancing the pear and gentle peaty notes.

Tasting Notes:

“Its the 100 th anniversary of the marriage of Masataka and Rita Taketsuru, and theres plenty to celebrate, with sweet red apples and soft pear on the nose, plus festive spices, peppercorn, cinnamon stick, warmed apple slices, apricot, lemon zest, and lightly charred oak. Creamy, with cooked fruit dipped in sweet syrup, vanilla, toffee apple, and honey, with just a prickle of spices swimming against the weight of the fruit.” –92/100,Whisky Advocate
