Nikka Yoichi Single Malt Whisky with 2 glasses

Nikka Yoichi Single Malt is a distinctive Japanese single malt whisky originating from the first distillery of Nikka, founded in 1934 by Masataka Taketsuru in Yoichi on Hokkaido Island. This location was chosen for its similar climatic conditions to the Scottish coast, allowing for the creation of whisky with a robust character. Yoichi Single Malt is known for its smoky profile, which is the result of traditional distillation over direct charcoal fire and aging near the sea, adding subtle salty notes.

The flavor profile of this whisky is complex and balanced. The aroma reveals notes of peat, smoke, soot, and salt, which gradually develop into candied citrus fruits like lemon and orange. It is complemented by sweet licorice, nutmeg, and ginger, with floral notes of iris and carnation.

The taste is dominated by peat and smokiness, followed by notes of nuts and fresh fruits like melon and kiwi. Mid-palate, there are sweet chocolate traces, while the peat flavor lingers. The finish is long and silky, with fruity notes gradually giving way to herbal and malty character, while the saltiness adds depth and coastal freshness to the entire whisky.

The design of the Nikka Yoichi Single Malt bottle is elegant and reflects traditional Japanese craftsmanship. The bottle has a simple yet sophisticated appearance with clean lines and a minimalist style that emphasizes the quality of the contents. The label bears the name of the distillery and information about the whisky, while the overall design feels timeless and dignified.

In gift packaging with two glasses.
