Clean air, thermal springs, the right humidity for the aging of the woods and the pure water that flows from the subsoil. These were the characteristics that led Masataka Taketsuru, the visionary behind Japanese whiskies and founder of Nikka, to build the Miyagikyo distillery near Sendai in 1969. Originally known as the "Sendai distillery", it was the second to be founded after the distillery Yoichi of the company in Hokkaido.


Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
