Nikka Miyagikyo Single Malt Whisky Cl 70

Nikka Miyagikyo Single Malt Whisky

Nikka Miyagikyo Single Malt Whisky represents an ode to the art of distillation and the craftsmanship of the Miyagikyo distillery, founded by Masataka Taketsuru in 1969. Located in the mountains of Sendai, this distillery offers a distinct alternative to the maritime character of Nikka’s first distillery, Yoichi.

Main features:

• Historical Origins: Founded as Nikka’s second distillery, Miyagikyo was chosen by Masataka Taketsuru for its mountainous setting, in contrast to Yoichi’s coastal location. This choice reflects the diversity and richness of earthly and climatic influences that contribute to the creation of this unique whiskey.
• Distillation Method: Miyagikyo Single Malt is distilled in pots still heated by indirect steam, using less peat malt. This gives the whisky an elegant and fruity flavor profile, enriched by the influence of the Sherry casks used during aging.
• Expression Without Age Indication: This version without age indication was launched in 2016 to celebrate the distinctive style and elegance of malts produced in Miyagikyo. Esters generated by carefully selected yeast strains blend harmoniously with the distinctive notes of Sherry casks, creating an enveloping and complex sensory experience.

Nikka Miyagikyo Single Malt Whisky is an expression of refinement and craftsmanship, testifying to Nikka’s commitment to excellence and the Japanese whisky tradition.
