The Nikka Discovery Series, launched in 2021 as part of Nikka's 90th anniversary celebration, highlights key stages in the making of Nikka whiskies. In 2022, the series honors the Yoichi and Miyagikyo distilleries through the fermentation yeasts they use. The Nikka Discovery Miyagikyo Aromatic Yeast is a single malt whisky from the Miyagikyo distillery, located in Miyagi Prefecture, Honshu Island. The yeasts used in Miyagikyo for fermentation enhance the aromatic intensity, giving the freshly distilled whisky fruity aromas of peach and apricot.
Bottled in 2022 at 47% ABV, this unpeated Japanese single malt has a limited release of 4,800 bottles. The whisky offers aromas of lavender, marshmallow, peach, pear, apricot, vanilla, coconut, and summer flowers, complemented by notes of green ferns, freshly-baked brioche, white peaches, pears, acacia honey, and sea salt on the palate. The finish is filled with lingering notes of chamomile tea, freshly cut grass, fiery ginger, and pear blossom.
This special expression from Nikka's softer second distillery, Miyagikyo, features aromatic yeasts that encourage more fruity flavors. The whisky's palate offers aromas of rose water, coconut, stone fruits, and vanilla, along with notes of fresh croissants, pear, green foliage, and heather honey. The finish is full of cherry blossom, grass, and chamomile.
