Founded in 1969 as Nikka’s second distillery, Miyagikyo (formerly known as Sendai and Sakunami) was born to complement the bold, peaty character of Yoichi. Crafted from lightly peated and non-peated barley, Miyagikyo malts are distilled in pot stills heated by indirect steam, resulting in a flavour profile of elegant fruitiness and delicate mouthfeel. It’s been years since Nikka discontinued its age-statement lineups due to stock shortages, making these age-stated expressions all the more rare today.
Miyagikyo 10
Very approachable Japanese malt with a light body, yet brimming with floral, fruity flavors with a slightly sour edge.
Miyagikyo 12
Light and floral on the nose, well-matured with a full body, and a complex, vinous finish.
Miyagikyo 15
The oldest in the range, it earned an impressive 92 points from renowned whisky critic Jim Murray. Compared to younger Miyagikyo malts, it offers a fuller, more mature profile with sherry sweetness and nutty notes.
