Nikka Yoichi 15 Year Old Single Malt Japanese Whisky

DESCRIPTION:

A legendary expression from one of Japan's most revered distilleries, Nikka Yoichi 15 Year Old is a beautifully matured single malt that showcases the distinctive coastal character and subtle peat influence that have made Yoichi famous among whisky enthusiasts worldwide. Crafted at the historic Yoichi Distillery in Hokkaido, founded by Masataka Taketsuru, this exceptional whisky was matured for 15 years before being bottled at 45% ABV.

The nose opens with elegant layers of orchard fruits, maple syrup, honeyed malt and gentle peat smoke. Rich and full-bodied on the palate, flavours of caramelised apples, dried fruits, toasted almonds, dark spices and delicate sherry notes are balanced by Yoichi's signature maritime influence. The finish is long, warming and complex, lingering with subtle smoke, oak spice and sweet fruit.

Produced using traditional direct coal-fired pot stills an increasingly rare method in modern whisky production, Yoichi develops a robust, characterful spirit that combines power with refinement. Now highly sought after following the discontinuation of many age-statement Japanese whiskies, the Yoichi 15 Year Old has become a prized collector's bottle and a benchmark expression of premium Japanese single malt whisky.
