A Miyagikyo Single Malt. The label contains no age statement as Nikka had stopped most aged versions in 2015 due to increasing demand and the resulting pressure on stocks. Before this, 10, 12 and 15 year old versions of Miyagikyo existed. All of these were discontinued and this Miyagikyo single malt was launched immediately after to replace them.

About the Producer Miyagikyo
Japan, Miyagi. Distillery operational. Owner: Nikka Whisky Distilling (Asahi)The younger sister of the legendary Yoichi distillery, Miyagikyo is the second distillery of the Nikka Whisky Distilling company, which was founded in 1934 (Dai Nippon Kaju Kabushiki Kaisha) by Masataka Taketsuru. The distillery was completed in 1969 on the main island of Honshu, in the Miyagi Prefecture and distilled its first malt in the same year. Futuristic and resolutely modern, it is home to several Coffey stills for the production of grain whisky, as well as the malt whisky used in the group's blends. More niche than its older sister, the versatility of Miyagikyo's character nonetheless makes it an appealing malt. It ranges from a soft, floral and fruity register to the more woody, spicy and sometimes smoky aromas commonly found in Yoichi.
