Nikka Miyagikyo Single Malt - Simple Man's Silent Review
Nikka Miyagikyo Single Malt
45% ABV 700ml
No age statement for this Whisky
From Nikka’s second distillery that was built in 1969, let me present to you the Miyagikyo Single Malt.
The Packaging:
Got this from local LCBO in Whitby, Ontario, Canada.
I was surprised that this Imported Whisky doesn't come with any box or any packaging.
The Bottle:
The bottle has straight body with thick glass. It has a screw type bottle ring or the bottle head. This Whisky uses screw plastic cap instead of a traditional cork cap.
Screw caps are mostly common on high end Japanese whiskys and old school single malts.
The Opening:
For me, its satisfying to open the whisky with a cork cap, when you twist the cork cap and snap it to open. The friction of the cork and the
bottle bore produces a satisfying and enticing sound...
The Aroma, Nosing:
Rich elegant fruity, sweet, strong Sherry cask influence. Very little peat.
I like it due to abundant of sweetness and fruitiness to the nose.
The Taste:
A bit different on what it smells like. Very nice contrast...
a bit of mix nuts in the arrival with spicy finished. A hint of smokiness, bit dry.
Should i buy this again:
Yes, I love the nose and the finishing on the taste of spicyness.
A very well made Whisky. I like it and its also 45% ABV.
Simple Man's Score: 89/100
