One Japanese single malt whiskey from the Miyagikyo distillery. It is there that a sophisticated premium malt whisky with a recognizable fruity and floral freshness. With an emphasis on Sherry barrels, the aging process, gives depth to the natural charm of this aged single malt. The location of the distillery is ideal since it is located near the Miyagi Valley, an area in the north of Japan’s Honshu island that is known for its clean atmosphere and the quality of its natural springs.

The Japanese art known as Nikka whisky is the “child” of Masataka Taketsuru, the first person who created Japanese whisky. With extensive experience in Scotch malt distillation, in 1933 he opened his own distillery with the aim of creating his own premium Japanese whisky. Today, Nikka Japanese whiskies have 2 distilleries, one in Hokkaido (Yoichi Distillery) and one in Miyagi (Miyagikyo/Sendai Distillery). Yoichi is the last distillery in Japan that uses coal heating, something that helps to preserve the traditional character of the spirit. On the other hand, in Miyagikyo, lighter and fruitier whisky is produced, similar to those of the Lowlands of Scotland. It is noteworthy that here they mix malt whisky with grain whisky, a process that very few distilleries in Scotland do.
