Nikka Miyagikyo Japanese Single Malt Whisky

This is a single malt from the Miyagikyo distillery Nikka’s second distillery built in 1969. The founder Masataka Taketsuru chose this site in the mountains of Sendai to contrast with his first distillery Yoichi located in the coastal area. Using less peaty malt and distilled in a pot still heated by indirect steam Miyagikyo single malt has an elegant fruitiness and a distinctive aroma with a strong Sherry cask influence. 45% ABV
