Part of Nikka's 'Discovery' Series, this yeast-focused unpeated version comes from the use of yeasts that encourage the development of delicately fruity aromas and flavours. This whisky is an invitation to dive quite literally into a washback in the midst of fermentation. It begins first by laying the foundations of a deeply malty character. Then, as the tasting unfolds, deliciously luscious, floral, rich and even fruity sequences interweave with one another, like dissolving transitions in a film.
The mingling scents of lavender, meadows and stone fruits carry hints of coconut, vanilla and lemon curd. The palate is herbaceous and refreshing with notes of barley and brioche. The finish is long and silky with stone fruits and sweet honey in herbal tea.
