Nikka Whisky Single Malt Miyagikyo. What does this even mean? Miyagikyo is Nikka's second distillery built in 1969 hence the name. As with Scotch, it is single malt because the contents in this bottle all come from a single distillery. The location of this distillery according to the product label is in the mountains of Sendai.
