Nikka Miyagikyo Sherry & Sweet 12 Year Old is a distillery-exclusive single malt — available only from the Miyagikyo distillery shop in Sendai, not distributed commercially. Aged 12 years in sherry casks and bottled at 55% volume in a 500 ml format, this is the 'Sherry & Sweet' component of the Key Malts series, one of three expressions illustrating the distillery's fundamental character lines.
AFFINAGE: twelve years in sherry casks build a deep mahogany colour and a rich fruit profile: raisin, date and honey from the wood, with a quiet smokiness that runs as a through-line beneath the sweetness. The higher bottling strength preserves the full sherry-cask intensity without dilution. Bottles are limited to what the distillery shop can sell in person, making any example that leaves the site genuinely rare.
SERVING: serve neat in a Glencairn first — the rich coffee and sherry aromas settle to reveal cherry blossom and apple beneath. Three to five drops of water open the honey and date character fully. A dram to open and share: perfect alongside a medium-roast coffee or a square of good dark chocolate.

As the name indicates, this Miyagikyo Sherry & Sweet is named after the high proportion of sherry casks used in its maturation. This whisky has a milder taste than Yoichi malts.
Sophisticated and precise, conveying notes of malted barley with hints of vanilla and caramel. Influenced by the ageing in bourbon barrels, it begins with a citrus aroma, a touch of beer yeast, hops & smoke, combined with fine aromas of sherry oak.
Made from 100% malted barley, using a unique distillation method. The barley is distilled in a “Coffey still” - a traditional continuous still, from the Miyagikyo Distillery - which is normally used to produce grain whisky. This process yields to a robust and harmonious whisky.
The Miyagikyo malts are heated by indirect steam, at a much lower temperature that allows slower distillation. Resulting in aromatic and less peaty whiskies.
