Taketsuru went on to found the Dai Nippon Kaju, or “Great Japanese Juice Company,” in 1934. This Yoichi, Hokkaido facility would soon make whisky. And it released its first in 1940 under the brand Nikka Whisky.

Glen Moray “Classic” is another excellent alternative to Miyagikyo. They both share a Sherry cask influence and a light, fruity profile. And this Speyside malt is even more affordable than Glenmorangie! Today, Nikka remains one of Japan’s two great whisky manufacturers. The other is Suntory, of course. And while Suntory has a little more fame and production volume, Nikka is just as good. You are responsible for all activities through your account.

Besides the pot stills, Miyagikyo has two Coffey stills. These old-school continuous columns make grain whisky, vodka, and gin. And the company also uses them for malt whisky (Nikka Coffey Malt). The hallmark of Coffey stills is the super creamy and smooth spirit they produce. Suntory founder Shinjiro Torii hired Taketsuru to build the Yamazaki Distillery in Osaka. This was the country’s first legit whisky distillery. But after Yamazaki was complete, the two icons had a falling out.

Decades ago, both local and world demand for Japanese malts was low, so few barrels were being laid down for extended periods.

The first whisky that comes to mind is Glenmorangie “Original.” Like Miyagikyo, Glenmorangie has very tall stills which produce lighter whiskies. The flavor profiles of both are similar too. The main difference is the vanilla and caramel ex-Bourbon influence of the Highlands-distilled Glenmorangie. Well, and the price. Because Glenmorangie Original costs about half as much as Miyagikyo. Miyagikyo is the bigger of Nikka’s two whisky distilleries. Its output is around three million liters of whisky per year.

So the whisky comes from Nikka Group’s youngest distillery, the Miyagikyo distillery. This is a single malt but Nikka uses Miyagikyo’s malt whisky for blending purposes as well. This expression replaced the previous NAS version, which was also called Miyagikyo Single Malt. It has also replaced their remaining age stated expressions, because demand for Japanese whisky remains ever so strong. That’s why the prices for Japanese whisky are extremely high.
