Nikka Yoichi 10 Years Whisky

Nikka Yoichi 10 Year Old is an elegantly peaty single malt from Nikka's historic Yoichi distillery on Hokkaido, Japan's northern island. The distillery is renowned for its coastal location and traditional direct coal-fired distillation, which imparts a distinctive, robust character to the spirit. Matured for a full decade, it is bottled at 45% ABV.

The nose is clean and fresh, with notes of peat, light smoke and spice. On the palate, more light peat is joined by rounded vanilla and tobacco from the oak casks. The finish shows an excellent balance between fruit and oak, with light fruit and floral elements coming through. A superb example of refined Japanese craftsmanship, it is a fine choice for any single malt enthusiast.
