Description

Luxuriously performing malty aroma with subtle smokiness, brings a delicate and fresh finish supported with notes of citrus, caramel and honey.

You can savour the authentic flavour and taste of our hand-picked single malt whiskies because of our superb blending process. The subtle hint of freshness in the end serves as a reminder of Kyotamba-rich Cho’s character.

The cloth label was made using a customary technique called Nishijin-ori. Kyoto is the birthplace of this craft.

Kyoto Miyako Distillery, situated in Kyotanba Town in the heart of Kyoto Prefecture, is the city’s first whisky distillery. Situated in the Tamba Plateau region, Kyotanba Town boasts an ideal natural setting for the production of whisky. Rich in natural resources, the Yura River near the winery is well-known as a natural fishing spot.

Producer Profile

The first whisky distillery in Kyoto

Kyoto Miyako Distillery is the first whisky distillery in Kyoto, located in Kyotamba-Cho and surrounded by beautiful nature, which is in the central part of Kyoto Prefecture. Not far from the distillery, there is Yura River which is known as Ayu (Sweetfish) fishing spot.

Kyoto Miyako Distillery‘s Pot Still

At Kyoto Miyako Distillery, there are two types of pot stills, a straight head type and a bulge type. The straight head type makes spirit with a relatively bold taste of ingredients and the bulge type helps to produce spirit with a gorgeous and smooth taste. By using different types of pot stills, the range of whisky tastes gets further expanded.

Barrel aging

Kyoto Miyako Distillery is located in Kyotamba-Cho. As it is surrounded by mountains such as Mt. Chorogatake, the temperature difference between day and night here is big. This temperature difference accelerates the whisky aging which is an indispensable step in whisky making.
