Description

Looking for a Japanese single malt that perfectly balances elegance with approachable complexity?

Nikka Miyagikyo Single Malt represents the pinnacle of Japanese whisky craftsmanship from the renowned Miyagikyo Distillery in Miyagi Prefecture. This no-age-statement expression showcases the distillery’s signature style through light peated and non-peated malted barley, creating a harmonious blend that rivals premium Speyside expressions.
