All about Miyagikyo

Miyagikyo's whiskies are generally softer than the ones in Yoichi Distillery. The Coffey Grain Whisky from their distillery are especially exotic and different.

Other Whiskies from Miyagikyo include their single malts, known for their lighter but fruity character with Sherry cask notes, made using less peaty malt, and distilled in a pot still heated by indirect steam.
