The Miyagikyo distillery, nestled among the mountains of Sendai, benefits from a cool climate and pure waters, essential elements to give the whisky a unique aromatic purity. The aging takes place in American and European oak barrels, which provide softness and elegant complexity, enriched by light fruity and spicy nuances.
On the nose, you can perceive peat scents balanced by floral and vanilla notes, while on the palate the body is full and well-structured, leaving a persistent smoky aftertaste. Perfect to enjoy neat or with a splash of water to fully release its aromas, it pairs wonderfully with smoked fish dishes, grilled meats, and aged cheeses. A sensory experience that celebrates Japanese mastery in the art of whisky.
