Miyagikyo is one of the malt distilleries of Nikka. Nikka’s founder Masataka Taketsuru chose a valley in the Miyagi prefecture as the site for his second distillery, and started its operation in 1969.

Miyagikyo malts are described as elegant and fruity. Made from light peated and non-peated malted barley, whiskies distilled in pot stills heated by indirect steam express a signature fruitiness and delicate mouthfeel.

Miyagikyo Single Malt has estery aromas generated by carefully selected yeast strains along with distinctive Sherry cask influence.
