Single Malt Whisky, Japan/Honshu-Miyagi

The Sendai distillery, which was renamed Miyagikyo in 2001, was opened by Masataka Taketsuru in 1969 in a small village in Miyagi Prefecture. Equipped with eight steam-heated pot stills, whose large size ensures slow and precise distillation, it launched its first single malt in 1989. After a ten-year absence, Miyagikyo 10 years old returns in a new version, reinterpreted by the Nikka Whisky team. Elegant and bright, this expression reveals a rich palette of flavours and aromas marked by juicy, tangy and tropical fruits.

Nose : Fruity aroma reminiscent of apples and citrus, complemented by a subtle sweet vanilla note developed through maturation.

Appearance : Deep golden yellow.

Palate : A rich and well-balanced flavor, where the sweetness of malt harmonizes with the taste of ripe fruits.

Overall : Pleasant aftertaste, gently sweet and slightly bitter finish.
