Masataka Taketsuru, father of Japanese whisky, is the founder of the Nikka Company, famous for its two distilleries Yoichi and Miyagikyo.
The Miyagikyo distillery dates back to 1969 and is located near Sendai.

Miyagikyo hosts two different types of stills: Scottish pot still with ascending swan neck, to obtain a softer, lighter and more fruity distillate; and a 1960s Coffey double column imported from Scotland.

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.
