Miyagikyo uses mostly unpeated barley with a portion of lightly peated malt, distilled in pot stills heated by indirect steam for a gentler spirit, then matured across a mix of sherry casks, new American oak, and ex-bourbon oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\" class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3 print:block print:space-y-1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDistillery: Nikka Miyagikyo Distillery, Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMash Bill: 100% malted barley (primarily unpeated, some lightly peated)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCasks: Sherry, new American oak, ex-bourbon oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eABV: 45%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eSize: 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\" class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3 print:block print:space-y-1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eNose: Malted barley with exotic fruitiness, floral notes, and subtle smoke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003ePalate: Firm and lively, with herbaceous spice, dark fruit, and hints of licorice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFinish: Long and soft, with fine tannins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAn elegant, fruit-forward introduction to Japanese whisky with a distinctive sherry cask influence, Nikka Miyagikyo Single Malt is best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to open its floral and spice character, making it a strong pick for both newcomers to Japanese whisky and collectors of the Nikka lineup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat does Nikka Miyagikyo Single Malt taste like?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMalted barley and exotic fruit on the nose, with herbaceous spice and dark fruit on the palate, finishing long and soft with fine tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eDoes this have an age statement?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, it's a non-age-statement (NAS) release blending whiskies of varying ages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eHow is Miyagikyo different from Nikka's Yoichi single malt?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMiyagikyo is known for a lighter, more floral and fruity character from its inland Sendai location, while Yoichi, from Nikka's coastal distillery, tends to be bolder and more robust.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nikka","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42629344952404,"sku":"NIKKA-MIYAGIKYO-750","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/1691\/2212\/files\/nikka-whiskey-single-malt-miyagikyo-8548103.png?v=1761940461","url":"https:\/\/estatesliquor.com\/products\/nikka-miyagikyo-single-malt-whisky-750ml","provider":"Estates Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
