Miyagikyo Peated 2021

Miyagikyo was built in 1969 by the Nikka Whisky company. Nikka was founded in 1934 by Masataka Taketsuru, a former Suntory employee who had studied at the University of Glasgow, and later trained as a blender at the now lost Hazelburn distillery in Campbeltown. Miyagikyo is primarily a malt distillery, but now also produces Nikka’s grain whisky after it moved the Nishinomaya coffey stills there in the 1999.

A non-age statement single malt from Nikka's second distillery. The company was forced to discontinue all of its age-statement products in 2015 after Nikka were hit by stock shortages due to the unforeseen popularity of their products, with expressions like this becoming the new normal.

Released in late 2021 as part of the Nikka Discovery range, this peated singled malt was limited to 20,000 bottles worldwide.
