  Item no.: 22227865479-1106-19727908

  Miyagikyo is known for its floral gentleness, but this Discovery edition shows the distillery in a completely different, smoky disguise.

  Expert Description

  Nikka Discovery Miyagikyo Peated 2021 is a Single Malt Japanese Whisky, bottled at 48%.

  This edition is the sibling release to Yoichi Non-Peated from the same Discovery series, forming a deliberate counterpart: Miyagikyo, normally known for its soft, floral style, is bottled here with peat, giving a surprising smoky character rarely associated with the distillery.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Smoky fruit, honey and a light salty note.

  Palate

  Complex with smoke, apple and a hint of spice.

  Finish

  Medium length with lingering smoke.

  Investment Potential

  Investment perspective

  A peated Miyagikyo is a rarity, as the distillery normally produces in a softer style, making Discovery releases like this particularly attractive to collectors of Japanese whisky.

  Did You Know?

  Miyagikyo was originally built to complement Yoichi's powerful style with something softer - peating Miyagikyo therefore turns the distillery's basic purpose on its head.

  Nikka Miyagikyo 10 years old (Sendai) Single Malt Japanese Whisky 70 cl 45%

  Item no.: 2278556393-963

  Before the distillery was named Miyagikyo, whisky people simply knew it as Sendai - a name that still lives on in the bottle's subtitle.

  Expert Description

  Nikka Miyagikyo 10 Year (Sendai) is a Single Malt Japanese Whisky, bottled at 45%.

  Miyagikyo Distillery was founded in 1969 by Masataka Taketsuru as Nikka's second distillery, called the "lowland distillery" in contrast to the peated "highland distillery" Yoichi. The distillery originally went by the name Sendai, named after the nearby city, before officially changing to Miyagikyo - a name this bottle still honours in its subtitle.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Rich fruit, marzipan and dark chocolate.

  Palate

  Malt and wood with a tangy, spicy finish.

  Finish

  Dry vanilla, salt and a slightly tangy tail.

  Nikka Miyagikyo 10 years old Single Malt Japanese Whisky 70 cl 45%

  Item no.: 22227865403-8

  Miyagikyo sits where two rivers meet in a valley near Sendai, and the soft river water is one reason this whisky differs so much from its sister at Yoichi.

  Expert Description

  Nikka Miyagikyo 10 Year is a Single Malt Japanese Whisky, bottled at 45%.

  Miyagikyo Distillery was founded in 1969 by Masataka Taketsuru as Nikka's second distillery, this time with a milder, more floral purpose than the peated Yoichi. Its location by the Nikkawa and Hirose rivers gives it a humid microclimate that encourages a softer maturation.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Apple, pear and a fresh, floral sweetness.

  Palate

  Soft and fruity with vanilla and light honey.

  Finish

  Medium length and clean with a hint of citrus.

  Nikka Miyagikyo 12 years old (Sendai) Single Malt Japanese Whisky 70 cl 45%

  Item no.: 22227865403-111

  In the valley by the Nikkawa river north of Sendai, Masataka Taketsuru built his second distillery - deliberately different from his first, to give Nikka two distinct voices.

  Expert Description

  Nikka Miyagikyo 12 Year Old is a Single Malt Japanese Whisky, bottled at 45%.

  The whisky comes from Miyagikyo Distillery, founded in 1969 by Nikka founder Masataka Taketsuru in a spot he himself described as resembling Scotland's Speyside. With its slender stills and a milder, more fruit-forward spirit than sister distillery Yoichi, Miyagikyo is known for its floral, sherry-rich style.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Ripe apples and pears meet a delicate sherry sweetness and a touch of vanilla.

  Palate

  Soft and fruity with honey, light spice and a fine, sherry-driven depth.

  Finish

  Medium length and soft, with a last note of dried fruit.

  Flavour Profile

  Investment Potential

  High. Nikka discontinued most of its age-stated releases around 2015 due to limited stock, making a 12-year-old Miyagikyo like this one increasingly hard to find.

  Did You Know?

  Masataka Taketsuru deliberately chose Miyagikyo's location because its climate and water were the exact opposite of Yoichi's - he wanted two distilleries that could each speak in their own voice within Nikka's blends.
