Nikka Miyagikyo Apple Brandy Finish Single Malt Whisky

A special release to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Nikka’s founder Masataka Taketsuru and his wife Rita, who were married in 1920. The Apple Brandy Wood Finish limited time offering includes two expressions, a Single Malt from Yoichi and a Single Malt from Miyagikyo. These bottlings showcase the unique combination of single malts and the elegant effects of Apple Brandy Wood Finish, in addition to the beautiful contrast between Yoichi and Miyagikyo. The Miyagikyo Apple Brandy Finish is produced at Nikka’s second distillery Miyagikyo, located in Sendai, in the northern part of Japan’s main island. Aged in new American oak, ex-Bourbon oak, and sherry casks, with the sherry casks providing a dominant flavor component. Both expressions are distilled from 100% malted barley, finished in carefully selected 28-year-old Nikka apple brandy casks for six months, and are non-chill filtered to enhance the delicate aroma from the casks and maximize the rich flavors of the whiskies.
