Nikka Miyagikyo

RM448.00

Nikka Miyagikyo Single Malt is a refined Japanese whisky from Miyagikyo Distillery, Nikka’s second distillery, built in 1969 in the mountains of Sendai. Founder Masataka Taketsuru chose this inland mountain location to create a whisky style that contrasts with the bolder, coastal character of Yoichi.

Miyagikyo Single Malt is known for its soft, elegant and fruity profile. Nikka describes it as having elegant fruitiness and a distinctive aroma with strong sherry cask influence. The whisky is made using less peaty malt and distilled in pot stills heated by indirect steam, a method that helps create a delicate mouthfeel and lighter fruit-driven style.

On the nose, Nikka Miyagikyo opens with orchard fruits, pear, peach, apple, floral notes, vanilla and gentle oak. The palate is smooth and medium-bodied, with juicy stone fruit, creamy vanilla, toffee, biscuit malt, dried fruit and soft spice. A very light earthy peat note sits in the background, giving extra depth without making the whisky heavily smoky.
