Miyagikyo Distillery 50th Limited Edition Blended Whisky

It’s been quite some time since I sat and tasted anything. Don’t get me wrong, I have enjoying many-a-pour. A quiet evening affords me some time to work a sample. N: This opens fruity and sweet. Orchard fruits forward. Ripened plums, apples and pears potpourri. A dusting of cinnamon, almonds and hay. All of which provides an earthiness to the nose. P: Jammy sweet palate with a bit of heat and singe. The nose carries forward to the palate. Grape jam, cinnamon almonds and hay. Not much of a deviation. F: A touch of oak on the finish accompanied by white pepper and remnants of the grape jam. The finish lasts for a medium length leaving the mouth slightly dry. O: A decent dram. Tasty and inoffensive. However, it rather static in nose and flavor. Not flashy. Sips very scotch-like. Enjoyable. Thanks @PBMichiganWolverine for the sample. [84/100][Tasted: 7/18/25]
