The Miyagikyo distillery is Nikka’s second distillery built in 1969.

Using less peaty malt and distilled in a pot still heated by indirect steam, Miyagikyo single malt has an elegant fruitiness and a distinctive aroma with a strong Sherry cask influence.
The 2000s is a rare blend of malt whiskies distilled Miyagikyo between 2000 and 2009. A limited release 500ml bottling at 57% abv.
