$274.50
For the second Discovery Series release, Nikka is highlighting the specific influence of an especially aromatic yeast on the whiskies, produced through low-temperature fermentation that brings to mind the fruity and floral world of sake. Returning to Yoichi’s typical peated style, it presents a multifaceted smokiness whose changing humor is one of its many captivating traits. The nose is full of the briny peat character at first, before revealing aromas of melon, pear, and carnation. The palate follows the fruity-floral tango with mirabelle plum, apple, tulip, and a hint of licorice with smoke.
