53 PPM, Heavily peated
The saccharification process in a new mashtan made by Miyake Manufacturing has evolved into a mellow, smooth liquor with less cloying taste.
This is smoky, retaining the strong peat and malt aroma, but also expressing fruit acidity.The taste is well defined.The cask strength version is 63% alcohol by volume, while the regular version is 48% alcohol by volume, making it a more powerful and full-bodied bottle of malt than the regular version.
