This would be fun to taste along with the Nikka Coffey Malt, Coffey Grain, and Miyagikyo Single Malt.  So many possible variations from just the one Nikka Distillery at Miyagikyo, a great opportunity to explore the ways in which malt and grain can play together.

Mellow and restrained, the palate is simple and the body is quite light.  It is an easy drinker— a  nondescript sweetness is backed by just a hint of smoke.  Bits of ginger, orange, and tea give some complexity to the body with just a hint of cocoa near the end.

Pirates?  Smugglers?  Lovers?  A three hour tour?  Who exactly is going on the ‘night cruise?’
