Nikka NAS

Nikka NAS is a no age statement single malt from Nikka's Miyagikyo distillery, located in a wooded river valley near Sendai in Miyagi Prefecture and owned by Asahi. Bottled at 43% for the global market in a 500ml format, it draws on Ex-Bourbon cask maturation in the house style.

Miyagikyo's tall copper stills and indirect steam heating give the distillery a naturally lighter, more floral and fruit-driven character than Yoichi, and bourbon oak reinforces that direction by adding vanilla and a gentle cereal warmth. The house profile at Miyagikyo typically shows orchard fruit, a mild floral sweetness and a clean, soft texture, all of which are present in this accessible, everyday expression. It serves as a broad introduction to the distillery's style without the complexity of an aged statement.
