About this bottle

Following the September release of the Yoichi and Miyagikyo single malts finished in Moscatel casks for the Japan market, the two rum-finished versions were made available exclusively in Europe and the US. The Miyagikyo expression, with only 3,500 bottles in circulation, has been available since November 2017.

Why there's no score

We have 3 ratings for this bottle, and we don't publish an average until 30 people have weighed in.

A handful of ratings can average to anything, and a 4.8 built on three of them looks exactly like a 4.8 built on three hundred. Rather than print a number we can't stand behind, we leave it blank until the count is there. The critic score above comes from a panel rather than the crowd, so it stands on its own.
