Elegant, refined and unmistakably Japanese, Miyagikyo Single Malt represents the signature house style of one of Japan's most respected distilleries. Crafted by Nikka Whisky, this expression replaces both the previous no-age-statement release and the remaining age-statement bottlings, becoming the flagship single malt from the renowned Miyagikyo Distillery.
 
Created from carefully selected whiskies of varying ages and matured predominantly in ex-Sherry casks, Miyagikyo Single Malt beautifully captures the distillery's hallmark elegance. The whisky combines delicate floral aromas with vibrant orchard and exotic fruits, complemented by subtle spice and refined oak.
 
The nose is wonderfully expressive, revealing iris flowers, ripe banana, malted barley, liquorice and beeswax, gradually evolving into delicate notes of toasted oak and gentle wood smoke. On the palate, rich malt intertwines with dark chocolate, ginger, cinnamon and fresh tobacco leaf, while hints of coconut and soft herbal notes add further complexity. The finish is long, silky and sophisticated, bringing flavours of stewed apples, damsons, grapefruit, toasted nuts and exotic lychee, balanced by elegant tannins and lingering floral sweetness.
 
Approachable enough for newcomers yet complex enough for seasoned enthusiasts, Miyagikyo Single Malt is a superb introduction to the refined artistry of Japanese whisky.
