High-Proof Original Spirits from the Late Showa Era\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Miyagikyo 1988 20 Year Old was distilled in 1988 (Showa 63) and released as a limited bottling in 2008, making it one of the (daibiao zuopin, representative works) among Nikka's high-aged single malts. The late 1980s was a low point for Japanese whisky, with limited production. Therefore, original spirits from that era that have survived to be bottled as 20-year-olds are naturally rare. Original spirits from this period were not considered rare at the time, but as brand value increased and inventory dwindled, they became a core target in today's collector's market – this is an advantageous condition for the seller. Our role is to help you sell this high-aged Showa-era whisky at its proper market value.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMiyagikyo 1988 20 Year Old's Position in the Secondary Market\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMiyagikyo is the second distillery established by Masataka Taketsuru after Yoichi, located at the confluence of two rivers outside Sendai. In contrast to Yoichi's direct coal-fired heating and strong peated style, Miyagikyo uses indirect steam heating for distillation, resulting in a lighter, floral, fruity, and creamy body – reflecting Taketsuru's philosophy that \"different terroirs produce different whiskies.\" The 1988 vintage is a product of this philosophy's maturity. 20 years of aging allowed the whisky to fully absorb the flavors from the casks while retaining sufficient original character, which many collectors consider the \"golden age range.\" For sellers, discontinued vintage, high age statement, and its historical significance from the late Showa era are all bargaining chips that the secondary market is willing to pay for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMiyagikyo 1988 20 Year Old Product
