Nikka Yoichi Single Malt shows the characteristics of Nikka’s first distillery built in 1934. The founder Masataka Taketsuru chose Yoichi in Hokkaido because of the similar environmental conditions to Scotland, where he learned whisky making.
Yoichi Single Malt is described as bold and strong. Pleasant peaty notes and smokiness originating from the traditional direct coal-fired distillation as well as a briny hint delivered by the sea breeze during the ageing process. Its finish is long, silky and mature with a slight herbaceous and malty character.
The northern island of Hokkaido is where Taketsuru came across the ideal site for the construction of Yoichi. A distillery built in the purest Scottish tradition, Hokkaido benefits from a climate closer to Scotland than anywhere else in Japan.
Surrounded by mountains on three sides and sea on the other, the distillery is located to the west of Sapporo. It is the only part of Japan to have local access to peat, and originally, the local peat bogs were the source of Yoichi’s subtle smoky character, gently drying the malted barley during the kilning process.
Enjoy Nikka Yoichi Single Malt neat or in a highball cocktail with soda, a style of whisky-drinking particularly popular in Japan.
