Nikka Miyagikyo Single Malt Whiskey
| Description: | Nikka Miyagikyo Single Malt Whiskey is made at the Miyagikyo Distillery, located in the Miyagi Prefecture, northeast of Honshu, where the fresh waters of the Nikkawa and Hirose rivers meet. Mostly unpeated barley is used at the distillery, though this single malt contains a portion of slightly peated malt. Casks of sherry, new American oak, ex-bourbon oak, and others are utilized for maturation. It's bottled at 45% Abv. A perfect introduction to Japanese whisky: a lighter body paired with a whole bouquet of delicious flavors, adored for its spicy, green apple, malty, and caramel notes. Boasts an elegant fruitiness, citrus, nougat, salt seaweed, some nutty/sherried notes, and a soft smokiness in the background, delicately balancing both sweet and savory. Nikka was founded by Masataka Taketsuru, opening their first distillery in Yoichi in 1934. Encapsulated by mountains (to the east, south and west) and by the Sea of Japan (to the north), its unique and isolated environment is ideal for whisky-production. The clean air, humidity, and access to underground water filtered through a layer of peat results in a rich and crisp malt. |
