Apple and pear aromas mingle with sweet vanilla. The palate is delicate and smooth, offering dried-fruit hints and gentle malt sweetness, followed by a lingering touch of soft oak.
Masataka Taketsuru founded Miyagikyo in 1969 as Nikka's second distillery, in a forested valley west of Sendai. The site uses soft water from the Nikkawa River. Steam-heated pot stills with bulbous necks and rising lyne arms help produce the distillery's delicate, floral and fruity malt spirit.
