Miyagikyo 12 Year Old: Why is it so hard to find? The supply-demand gap after discontinuation of age statement products
Miyagikyo 12 Year Old is a single malt with an age statement under the Nikka brand. Due to demand outstripping supply of aged raw spirits, Nikka began progressively reducing and discontinuing these age-statement whiskies from 2015, replacing them with NAS (No Age Statement) versions. The 12 Year Old requires at least twelve years of maturation in casks before bottling, and once discontinued, it cannot be replenished immediately. The existing stock in the market will only decrease year by year. For sellers still holding original 12 Year Old bottles, this "tightening" scarcity is precisely the leverage for their selling price.
Miyagikyo's splendid fruity aroma: A product of Sendai's terroir and craftsmanship
The Miyagikyo Distillery is located in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan, surrounded by mountains and two rivers. In contrast to Yoichi, Hokkaido's direct-fired distillation and robust smoky style, Miyagikyo takes a different path—utilizing the clear underground currents of the Hirose and Nikkawa rivers, combined with the region's unique humidity and climate, and employing indirect steam heating distillation. This process yields a soft, delicate, and distinctly fruity spirit.
Please note the type: This is a single malt whisky, meaning all malt spirits are from the single Miyagikyo distillery, not a blend or grain whisky. Recognizing this distinction is crucial for accurately assessing its position in the secondary market.
