Nikka | Miyagikyo | 10 Year Old | Single Malt Japanese Whisky | 700ML Tasting Notes

Nose: Fresh and inviting with notes of ripe pear, green apple, and white peach. Subtle hints of jasmine, honey, and a light wisp of malted barley add complexity.

Palate: Silky and balanced. Layers of orchard fruit unfold alongside soft vanilla, almond, and a touch of toffee. A delicate spice—nutmeg and white pepper—emerges mid-palate, supported by gentle oak influence.

Finish: Clean and elegant, with lingering notes of sweet fruit, light caramel, and a faint floral dryness.

Distillery Information

Nestled in a tranquil, forested valley near Sendai in Japan’s Miyagi Prefecture, the Miyagikyo Distillery was established in 1969 by Nikka founder Masataka Taketsuru. Surrounded by rivers, mountains, and clean, humid air, the site was carefully chosen for its natural beauty and exceptionally soft water—elements that play a crucial role in shaping the distillery’s signature style.

Unlike Nikka’s rugged, coastal Yoichi distillery, Miyagikyo was designed to produce a softer, more refined spirit. Using steam-heated pot stills, the distillery crafts whiskies that are elegant, fruit-forward, and delicately floral. The serene environment and slower maturation conditions contribute to a smooth, balanced character that has become a hallmark of Miyagikyo malts.
