Miyagikyo is basically the overachiever of Japanese whisky—delicate, fruity, floral, smoky, spicy… like it couldn’t pick a major so it just did everything and somehow pulled it off.
Pears, bananas, honey, vanilla, oak—check. A touch of smoke? Of course. Even a little wine-and-charred-meat thing on the palate, because why not?
Sure, some people might whine that it feels a bit “young,” but honestly, if this is what “young” tastes like, then please never let it grow up. Approachable, complex, and just fancy enough to impress your friends without making you feel like you need a tweed jacket to drink it.
