Proefnotitie Serge Valentin

Nikka 12 yo 'Miyagikyo' (45%, OB, circa 2006)
Both ‘Miyagikyo’ and ‘Miyagikyou’ were used but the definitive spelling is without the u, we’ve been told by a friendly Suntory exec.
Colour: gold.
Nose: rather light, flowery, honeyed and slightly smoky, reminding me a bit of a young Highland Park. Develops on even more honey (heather indeed) and a slight mashiness. Well, this one isn’t complex at all but it’s nicely balanced and smooth. Inoffensive.
Mouth: same. Honey and vanilla flavoured toffee, with a little ginger and again a little nutmeg from the wood. Also faintly resinous. Perfectly quaffable.
Finish: medium long, on the same flavours.

Excellent malt to pour your neighbours if you see what I mean (‘what, you say the Japanese make whiskey? And not bad at that!’) 80 points.
