When one imagines the picturesque valleys of the Miyagi prefecture, tranquillity and beauty come to mind. It's here that the story of the Miyagikyo Single Malt began. Founded by the visionary Masataka Taketsuru, this distillery was envisioned as a stark contrast to its robust and peaty counterpart, Yoichi.
Appearance: Gaze into the whisky and witness a hue that captures the essence of golden Japanese sunsets, radiating warmth and promise.
Aroma: Lift the glass and be greeted by Miyagikyo's signature estery fragrances. This aroma is not by chance but the result of meticulously chosen yeast strains, complemented beautifully by the alluring scent of Sherry cask influences.
Flavour: On the palate, Miyagikyo comes alive, unfolding layers of elegance and fruitiness. Whether you're a whisky aficionado or a novice, its delicate notes, intertwined with a subtle peatiness, make every sip an event to be cherished.
Mouthfeel: Like a gentle stream flowing through the Miyagi valleys, this whisky offers a delicate and smooth embrace, leaving behind an indelible trace of its fruity elegance.
Crafted from both light peated and non-peated malted barley, what sets the Miyagikyo Single Malt apart is its distillation method. The use of pot stills, heated by indirect steam, lends it a fruitiness that's unparalleled. The non-age-statement variant, unveiled in 2016, stands as a testament to the distillery's commitment to innovation without compromising on its traditional essence.
Now, whether you savour your whisky neat, prefer it on the rocks, or wish to experience it in a cocktail, Miyagikyo Single Malt is versatile, exquisite, and always memorable.
