Whisky Nikka Miyagikyo Single Malt (OC)

700ml BOTTLE

Japan, early 1969s: a young man named Masataka Taketsuru is sent by his employer to Scotland to learn the jealously guarded secrets of Scottish distillers. Masataka stayed in Scotland for several years and worked in some distilleries, eventually marrying a Scottish girl and returning to Japan. Once back, Masataka set up a company and opened his first distillery, which was followed in XNUMX by another, namely Miyagikyo: Masataka based the project on the great distilleries of the Scottish Highlands, shifting production to the mountains as opposed to the first. Masataka distillery, Yoichi, overlooking the sea.

Nikka Miyagikyo Single Malt is the whisky most representative of this distillery, combining the technical perfection of Japanese distillation with a long aging in oak barrels that previously contained Spanish sherry. Miyagikyo malt is one of the most sought after in the world: interest in the Japanese distillate is very high today, so much so that the stocks of the country's distilleries are very limited. Distilled in the Miyagikyo distillery located in the Miyagi Valley, a region in the north of the Japanese island of Honshu, recognized for the purity of its air and the quality of its spring waters, Miyagikyo produces a Nikka Single Malt with a refined malt characterized by unmistakable aromas of fresh fruit.
