There were years, at both Yoichi and Miyagikyo distillery when the barrels laid down for maturation could be counted on the fingers of one hand. The ‘stock shortage’ is not a PR stunt – it’s very real. Back in 2015, Nikka announced two new NAS whiskies, that now represent the entire portfolio. The dropping of age statements doesn't always translate into a drop in quality. Evidently, Chief blender Tadashi Sakuma has risen to the challenge of creating a great assemblage from a restricted inventory.

Tasting notes
Nose
A pronounced nose, with a strong sherry influence. This Single Malt shows a moderately malty beginning, with strong sherry influence and a satisfying lemon cake flavour coming through with the slightest smoke rounding out the nose.
Taste
The palate is extremely satisfying. It’s not too sweet, mildly dry throughout, with hints of spices, rum & raisins, charred fruits, and a silky cream throughout.
Finish
The finish is medium, and the mouthfeel is splendid which makes up for a slightly abrupt finish. This single malt has a lot going for it.
