Nikka 10 Year Old Yoichi Single Malt Japanese Whisky
$96.59
Nikka 10 Year Old Yoichi Single Malt is a distinguished Japanese whisky from Hokkaido’s coastal Yoichi distillery, renowned for its traditional coal-fired pot stills and maritime climate .
Distillation & Maturation
-
Crafted from 100% malted barley, aged for 10 years in American oak casks
-
Coal-fired stills and the proximity to the sea impart a signature smoky, briny character
Signature Aroma
-
A fragrant nose of orchard fruits—pear, apple, pineapple—paired with honey, honeysuckle, and light peat smoke
-
Subtle coastal notes of sea salt, chalk, mint, and sandalwood surface on the nose and palate
On the Palate
-
Tender peat and smoke intertwine with honeyed malt, tropical fruit, and soft oak, delivering a creamy yet crisp palate
-
Undertones of dark chocolate, fennel, mint, and whispers of dried mushroom and roasted grain deepen the experience
Finish
-
Medium-length and refined, echoing citrus zest, gentle peat, oak, earth, and a lingering sweet-spice fade .
Why It Stands Out
-
Celebrated for its 2001 Best of the Best award, this age-stated Yoichi is a rare return to form in today’s non-age-statement era
-
Delivers a dynamic balance of tropical brightness and gentle peat, with maritime and earthy overtones — elegant yet boldly expressive
In essence, Nikka 10 Year Old Yoichi is a masterclass in classic Japanese single malt: bracing and refined, with an artful blend of orchard sweetness, coastal smoke, and earthy elegance—a standout for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
