Why we stock it

Nikka's second distillery, built in a valley chosen for its soft water, and the malt is softer and fruitier than the Yoichi house style.

We stock it because Japanese single malt beyond Suntory is worth knowing, and Miyagikyo is the most immediately likeable place to start.

Quantity

Delivery Sydney metro. Same-day dispatch on orders placed before 2pm.

Nikka's second distillery, in a wooded valley near Sendai where Masataka Taketsuru chose the site for the softness of the water between two rivers. Miyagikyo is deliberately the gentler counterpart to Yoichi's coastal intensity.

Soft red fruit, malt and floral notes, with sherry sweetness and no peat to speak of. Elegant rather than powerful, and a good demonstration of how wide the Japanese single malt style actually runs.

    Nikka From The Barrel Japanese Whisky

    We stock it because it is the Japanese whisky we recommend most often, and because the strength means it holds up in a highball instead of disappearing.

    Hibiki Japanese Harmony 700ml

    We stock it because it is the bottle we hand anyone who says they do not like whisky. Soft, lightly floral, with no smoke and no heat to argue with. The 24-faceted decanter does not hurt when it is going to someone as a gift.

  • Hakushu, Yamanashi · Japan

    Hakushu 12 Year Old Single Malt Whisky

    Hakushu is Suntory's forest distillery, and the 12 is the green one - cut grass, cucumber, a whisper of smoke that arrives late and leaves quickly. It is the malt people reach for when they want something lighter than a Speyside without giving up complexity. We keep it alongside the Yamazaki because the two together show how far one company's house style can stretch.
