Floral and elegant, with sweet notes of cask and a deep, mature aroma
The previous Kyoda Cask Strength 2020 was so peaty that it was almost like an Islay. The current Kyoda Single Cask 2021 has a different taste, with a fruity, sweet finish.
The impression is sweet from nose to taste, with a slight saltiness lingering in the aftertaste, with a little peat in the aftertaste.
