Nikka Yoichi Single Malt Whisky is distilled by Nikka in Japan. Since 1934, they have been distilling beautiful single malt whiskies here at the Nikka Hokkaido Yoichi distillery. This is an assemblage of different vintages creating a nice balance of flavour with the right depth. Nikka Yoichi is located on the coast of Hokkaido on the northern side of the island. People here fire according to traditional methods with a direct fire and coal. Besides smokiness and peat elements in this single malt, you will also encounter aromas of dark chocolate, nutmeg, and dried fruit. Nikka Yoichi is fine on the nose and smells of lemon, freshly baked bread and vanilla. The taste is mildly sweet and approachable with an elegant hint of smoke. The finish of the Nikka Yoichi is medium-long and is slightly salty.
