It was aged in the cask for approximately twelve to thirteen years. Single Cask means that the entire bottle of liquid comes from the same oak barrel and has not been blended. A limited number of bottles can be filled from one cask, and once the cask is empty, it cannot be replicated. This bottle preserves the original spirit character of Miyagikyo from the 90s. The clear vintage and cask number are precisely why it is highly valued in the collector's market.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMiyagikyo Distillery Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMiyagikyo belongs to Nikka and is located in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture, producing \u003cb\u003eJapanese Single Malt Whisky\u003c\/b\u003e. In addition to malt whisky, this distillery is also renowned for its Coffey Grain and Coffey Malt whiskies, which have won multiple international awards. Its malt is distilled using indirect steam heating, forming a stark contrast to Yoichi's direct coal-fired distillation. The resulting whisky is elegant and full of fruity notes. As Japanese whisky stock tightens, the market circulation of old vintage single casks with confirmed distillation and bottling dates will only become scarcer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThis Bottle's Specifications at a Glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContent\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eProduct Name\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eMiyagikyo Single Cask 1996\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eType\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eJapanese Single Malt Whisky\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eDistilled\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eDecember 18, 1996\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eBottled\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eAugust 19, 2009\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eCask Ageing\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eApproximately 12 to 13 years (calculated from bottling date)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eCask No.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e#118927 (as indicated on the bottle)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eABV\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e61% (Cask Strength)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Factors Affecting This Bottle's Resale Price\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor single cask whiskies, version discernibility and preservation status are most crucial.
