About This Whisky
This 50mL miniature holds Nikka's Miyagikyo single malt at 45%.
Miyagikyo single malt is made with lightly peated malt and distilled in pot stills heated by indirect steam, which gives a gentler spirit than Yoichi's coal-fired stills.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Malted barley and exotic fruit, with pear and a touch of sherry.
- Palate: Firm and lively, with herbal spice, orchard fruit and honey.
- Finish: Long and soft, with fine tannins.
Serving & Food
Divide the miniature between two small glasses and try one neat, the other with a little still water. Pair with salmon sashimi, pear slices or almond biscuits.
Good to Know
Is it peated? Only lightly.
Is there an age statement? No. It replaced the older age-stated bottlings.

About the Distillery
Masataka Taketsuru opened Miyagikyo in 1969 as Nikka's second distillery, in a valley west of Sendai, for a softer malt than Yoichi's. Asahi Breweries owns Nikka today, and the site also houses its Coffey stills.
