Released in 2017, this rare twin pack from Nikka features rum cask–finished single malts from both of its celebrated distilleries: Yoichi and Miyagikyo. Limited to just 3,500 bottles worldwide, this set showcases Nikka’s innovative spirit and highlights the tropical sweetness that rum maturation can impart.

The Miyagikyo offers a playful, fruity profile, with its elegant character enhanced by the sweet, sugary depth of the rum casks. In contrast, the Yoichi combines caramel and orange chocolate notes with its signature smokiness and powerful oak, creating a whisky of stellar balance, richness, and a lingering finish.

Together, they form the backbone of Nikka’s reputation for artistry and innovation in Japanese whisky, continuously producing collectible limited editions admired worldwide.
