Nikka Miyagikyo Single Malt Whisky, 70 cl, 45 percent ABV

Product Information

Using less peaty malt, this whisky is distilled in a pot still heated by indirect steam at a low temperature. Commencing operations in 1969, Taketsuru intentionally crafted a distinct dichotomy between his two creations: Miyagikyo and Yoichi.

Nikka's founder Masataka Taketsuru chose a valley in the Miyagi prefecture as the site for his second distillery and started its operation in 1969. This bottling has estery aromas generated by carefully selected yeast strains along with distinctive Sherry cask influence.Facebook sets this cookie to show relevant advertisements to users by tracking user behaviour across the web, on sites that have Facebook pixel or Facebook social plugin.
