Nikka Yoichi Single Malt Japanese Whisky 700ml
Discover the essence of traditional Japanese whisky with Yoichi Single Malt, a hallmark expression from Nikka’s very first distillery, founded in 1934 by Masataka Taketsuru. Located in the coastal town of Yoichi on Hokkaido island, the distillery was strategically chosen for its climate and environmental resemblance to Scotland—where Taketsuru mastered the art of whisky-making.
This no-age-statement expression, introduced in 2016, replaced earlier age-stated bottlings and has since become a cornerstone of the Yoichi range. Crafted through the vatting of various carefully selected malt whiskies, it showcases the distillery’s distinctive style: a harmonious fusion of peat smoke, subtle fruitiness, and coastal salinity.
