About Nikka Yoichi 15 Year Old Single Malt Whisky

Yoichi 15 Year Old Single Malt Whisky is a single malt whisky produced exclusively at the Yoichi Distillery. The aroma and delicate body of the whisky are a product of direct-heating distillation (meaning that the pot stills used during distillation are heated with finely powdered natural coal rather than an electrical source), a method that was used centuries ago but is hardly ever used today. After distillation, the whisky is aged for 15 years in a rickhouse just one kilometer from the Sea of Japan, resulting in a hint of crisp saltiness.

Yoichi 15 Year Old Single Malt Whisky earned the Gold Medal at the International Spirits Competition in 2010 and a score of 95 points from Whisky Advocate.

Tasting Notes

Gentle and creamy nose with hints of caramel and nuts. Palate with sweet, with notes of dried fruits (particularly apples and peaches) and warming notes of spice. Finish is long and beautifully bittersweet.
