Nikka Whiskey Nikka Whiskey Single Malt Miyagikyo Peated 750 ml

Miyagikyo is Nikka's second distillery, built in 1969 near Sendai and known for a softer, fruitier house style than its sister distillery Yoichi. This peated bottling is a departure from Miyagikyo's usual unpeated character, adding smoke to the distillery's typical notes of apple, pear and light florals. The result sits between Miyagikyo's normal fruit-forward profile and the smokier style more associated with Yoichi, giving drinkers a chance to taste how peat interacts with a naturally delicate malt. It's aimed at Japanese whisky fans looking for something outside Nikka's standard, more widely available releases.

How to drink Nikka Miyagikyo Peated

Try it neat first, then with a splash of water — the smoke here is lighter than a classic Islay malt, so a little dilution won't wash it out.
