Absolutely remarkable, this Miyagikyo follows in the footsteps of some rare peaty single casks bottled in the past at natural proof. More to the point, it showcases a peat that's very present when it needs to be, but also more discreet at other key tasting moments. Among other charms, we'll note a fruity vitality, a diaphanous smoke and an exhilarating sweetness.

Masataka Taketsuru, chose a valley in Miyagi prefecture as the site for his second distillery and began operations in 1969. He aimed to create a complete contrast between the two distilleries, Miyagikyo and Yoichi, with different natural environments and production methods.
