Nikka 10 Year Old Yoichi Single Malt Japanese Whisky

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.
