Description
On the rugged, sea-swept coast of Hokkaido sits the Yoichi distillery, founded by Masataka Taketsuru — the man who brought whisky-making from Scotland to Japan. It's here, in coal-fired pot stills battered by ocean winds, that this 15 Year Old expression is born, a whisky that speaks to both heritage and mastery.
Matured for a minimum of 15 years, Nikka Yoichi 15 Year Old is a single malt that rewards patience with depth. It opens with a captivating bouquet of dried fruits, spice, and a whisper of smoke, hinting at the complexity that lies within the glass.
On the palate, the whisky unfolds in smooth, silky layers — a graceful balance of rich sweetness and gentle warmth, with notes of caramel, vanilla, and a touch of oak weaving through every sip. It's a whisky built for slow enjoyment, whether neat, with a splash of water, or over ice.
Bottled at 45% alcohol by volume in a 700ml bottle, this is a whisky made for savoring — perfect for quiet evenings of reflection or shared moments with good company. Nikka Yoichi 15 Year Old is an invitation to experience the heart of Japanese whisky-making, where tradition and craftsmanship meet in every drop.
