Miyagikyo 10 Year Old

Tasting Notes by Stuart P

• NOSE

  Light, elegant and fresh, with zingy orange and lemon aromas bringing this whisky to life.

• PALATE

  Bursting with citrus fruit, this is fresh, fragrant and enjoyable. A slightly sour note to the fruit adds depth, and the spicy, toasty oak provides good support.

• FINISH

  Very refreshing, with the fruit continuing.

• COMMENT

  Clean as a whistle, this is an ideal aperitif whisky, with citrus fruits to the fore.

  Broad. Cedar. Winey.
