Nikka Yoichi Single Malt

Whisky Nikka Yoichi Single Malt

700ml BOTTLE

Nikka's Yoichi distillery is located on the coast of Hokkaido, Japan's northernmost island. This whisky single malt was made using traditional methods, such as direct charcoal distillation; his whisky malt flavors reflect the authentic character of this exceptional location, with its refined coastal and peat notes.

TASTE

Subtle balance between smoky, fruity, and floral aromas. On the palate it is powerful, but all well balanced, peat is the host with a herbaceous and malty character, while the salty flavors give the finish a lot of depth and coastal freshness.

AGING

Oak barrels.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS ABOUT WHISKY NIKKA YOICHI SINGLE MALT

The greatness of whisky of Yoichi also lies in the historicity with which the distillery approaches its role: Yoichi was the first so-called modern distillery, in pure Scottish style, with Scottish-style stills and above all entirely dedicated to whisky, while most of the other distilleries in Japan have always dealt with something else too, especially brandy, shochu and sake.

The vision of a single man - Masataka Taketsuru - gave life to a unique project which, despite several initial difficulties due to the lack of interest of the Japanese people for a whisky as incisive and peaty as that of Yoichi, today it is the symbol of how enterprise and intellectual honesty have made Japan great in the global ecosystem of whisky, making this country one of the main productive nations, especially in terms of quality. THE whisky Japanese are increasingly in demand and rack up awards every year, garnering praise from critics, journalists, enthusiasts and casual drinkers.
