Miyagikyo 2000s Single Malt Whisky Single Cask Whisky Blend Distillery Exclusive Cask Strength (2009) 50cl
A rare distillery only exclusive of a blend of single cask malts that are from the year 2000-2009.
We do not know how old the malts are and they can be anywhere from 3-20 years old.
This 2000s Single Malt is a rare blend of malt whiskies distilled at the turn of the century and bottled in 2009. Exquisite blend using malts from 2000 to 2009 whisky. It offers whisky lovers a simple introduction to the superior quality of Miyagikyo malt whisky. Rich in fragrance: vanilla, deep roasted beans of Tokumitsu coffee, coconut milk, and dried fruits such as turkey fig and prune.
For those collectors looking for hard to locate Japanese editions of the distilleries we love, here is one of them that we are unsure if we will ever see again.

About Miyagikyo
Miyagikyo whisky, a single malt from Nikka's Miyagikyo distillery, is known for its delicate, elegant, and fruity profile, featuring aromas of flowers, fruit, and hints of spice, with a smooth, rich palate that showcases notes of malt, ginger, and cocoa. Founded in 1969 to contrast the peated Yoichi distillery, Miyagikyo uses a gentle distillation process and pure mountain water to create this lighter, balanced, and complex spirit that serves as a great introduction to Japanese whisky.
