Nikka Yoichi Single Malt Whisky, 70 cl, 45 percent ABV

Product Information

Nose: Pronounced and expressive. Toffee apples, tangy citrus peels and oily/earthy peat smoke. Wet soils and greenery (herbs, leaves and mosses) and joined by sweet orange juice and slight nuttiness. Smoke levels are higher than I expected and rather pleasant at the same time - a combination of salty coastal smoke and seaweed with elements drawn further inland – woody, earthy and vegetal. Dry fires meets wet fires. A few drops of water heightens sweetness and adds a touch of orange peels alongside some homemade lemonade.

If you’re currently looking for a whisky from Japan’s Yoichi distillery, your available options are virtually limited to just one. The Yoichi Single Malt was introduced in 2016 as the sole replacement for the distillery’s entire range of age statement malts (10,12,15 & 20 year olds). Built in 1934, and located in the northern coastal town (of the same name) on the island of Hokkaido, the distillery was Nikka’s first. The located was selected by the legendary Masataka Taketsuru for its setting, which brought with it both climate and terroir features which he felt were closer to that of Scotland than any other area of Japan, and a whisky style that is inherently coastal.Facilities on the tour are open until 5:00 p.m. After completion of the guided tour,visitors are welcome to continue viewing the facilities until closing time.

Records the default button state of the corresponding category & the status of CCPA. It works only in coordination with the primary cookie. The Yamazaki 12 is the closest competition to Yoichi NAS from Yamazaki. It’s a much fruitier and softer whisky. And Yoichi is noticeably peaty, whereas Yamazaki is not. Taste: Slightly oily and nicely fulsome in the mouth – starting with lemons, salty water and barley, peating is gentle, but pervasive across the whole mouth – mineral and nicely balanced with the fruitier elements. In the mid-palate, earthiness once more – soils, mosses and some well-defined maltiness. Sourness is delivered by grapefruit and sits alongside some cask influence – ginger and leather. The addition of water adds some juiciness to the fruits, a touch more sugar and really emphasises the minerality of the smoke. As mentioned earlier, Yamazaki Distillery was designed and operated by Nikka founder Masataka Taketsuru. Today, Yamazaki also produces iconic malt whisky, but in Osaka. There are two types of tours available at the Yoichi distillery – Guided and Self-Guided. Both types of guide are free of charge. Please see the two sections below for details on each type.

Whiskybase B.V. (“Whiskybase”, “we” or “us”, company details below) offers a whisky enthusiasts online platform that provides its members access to the most comprehensive, transparent and trusted resource of whisky bottles and allows and stimulates its members to contribute information about whisky bottles to the platform (“Service”). Suntory would eventually launch the Hakushu Distillery in Yamanashi. This facility was designed to produce whiskies with more peat and Scotch-like character. So they’re more similar to Yoichi than Yamazaki. Like Yoichi, Hakushu also utilizes a lot of used Bourbon casks. But overall, Yoichi is more firm, savory, robust, and peaty. Whereas, Hakushu is more crisp, mineral, and apply.
