Tasting Notes

Miyagikyo Tasting Notes

NoseRich and complex. Grapes and mild vanilla. Mild undertones of sugar and rum. Very distinct vanilla with time. Also fruitier as time passes.


Taste: Buttery and full-bodied. White pepper and ginger. Slightly fizzy with a touch of oak. Some baked and grilled oranges with time. Vanilla.


Finish: Medium to long finish. Ginger flavoured caramel sauce. Deep and comforting.


Comments: A delicate dram.


Score (87/100)


Yoichi Tasting Notes

Nose: Rich and complex. Dark chocolate and chocolate ashes. Drier and dirtier than the Miyagikyo. It has a light earthiness to it.


Taste: Rich and full-bodied, but less creamy than the other one. Black pepper, mild oak and fizzy champagne. More buttery with time, and with added ashes.


Finish:Long finish. Dirty caramel and pepper notes. Deep and warm all the way. Reaclly creamy now.


Comments: Love the deep peppery ashes!
