Miyagikyo 2005 10-Year Old Single Cask Whisky Buyback

Why is Miyagikyo 2005 Ten-Year Single Cask Rare? Ten Years of Maturation, One Cask Sold Out Forever

The Miyagikyo 2005 10-Year Single Cask whisky was distilled on April 17, 2005, and bottled on November 16, 2015, at a cask strength of 55%, without dilution. Its cask number is 300250. During the ten years of maturation, approximately 2% to 4% of the liquid evaporated each year due to the "Angel's Share." The longer the aging period, the greater the loss, resulting in a limited final bottling volume. A single cask means that the entire batch of whisky comes from only one oak barrel, and once the contents of that barrel are sold out, the same flavor profile will no longer be available. In recent years, Nikka has discontinued many of its whiskies with clear age statements, making Miyagikyo whiskies that are both "age-stated and single cask" even more sought after in the secondary market.

The Positioning of Miyagikyo

Miyagikyo is located in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture. Its distinct four seasons and high humidity create a whisky character completely different from that of Yoichi, Hokkaido. While Yoichi is known for its heavy and smoky profile, Miyagikyo excels with its magnificent fruity aromas, reminiscent of ripe apples and pears, and a smooth palate. In addition to malt whiskies, this distillery has also garnered international recognition for its Coffey Grain and Coffey Malt whiskies produced using Coffey stills. This particular expression is a Japanese single malt whisky, and its 55% cask strength perfectly preserves the fruity backbone of Miyagikyo, which is why the single cask version is so highly regarded by collectors.
