The Discovery Series 2021 Peated edition asks: what happens when Miyagikyo's indirect steam pot still distillation, sherry cask influence, and specific yeast and fermentation environment work with peated malt rather than the non-peated malt they were designed for? The answer is not simply a peated version of Miyagikyo — it is a different whisky that still carries the distillery's signature estery character as a through-line beneath the smoke, producing a combination that no other distillery could replicate because it is specific to Miyagikyo's distillation approach meeting an atypical ingredient.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaty and bold — the smoke of the peated malt combined with the estery, fruity aromatics that define the Miyagikyo distillery character\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Exquisite combination of distinctive peaty notes and boldness — the smoke and the distillery's inherent elegance in productive tension\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e The signature estery hint in the aftertaste — Miyagikyo's identity persisting through the peat\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Miyagikyo Distillery, Nikka Whisky, Sendai, Japan\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nikka Discovery Series — Year 1 (2021)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japanese Single Malt Whisky — Peated\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48% (96 Proof)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/japanese-foreign\"\u003eJapanese whisky at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What makes Miyagikyo Peated different from a standard peated whisky?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Miyagikyo's indirect steam distillation, yeast, fermentation, and sherry cask influence all contribute to the distillery's signature estery character.
