Nikka Yoichi is the flagship single malt from Nikka Whisky, founded by Masataka Taketsuru in 1934. Located in Yoichi on the northern island of Hokkaido, the distillery still uses traditional methods including coal-fired pot stills and worm tubs. Its style reflects Taketsuru’s Scottish training while capturing the rugged coastal character of its Japanese setting.
This no-age-statement expression blends malt whiskies of varying maturity to showcase Yoichi’s signature style. Matured in a mix of ex-bourbon, sherry, and new oak casks, the whisky delivers gentle peat smoke, sea spray and candied citrus on the nose. The palate brings together orchard fruits, nuts, spice, and chocolate, finishing long with coastal minerality and earthy warmth.
