About this whisky
In the northern reaches of Japan’s Hokkaido island, where icy winds meet rugged coastlines, the Yoichi Distillery has been crafting bold, smoky single malts since 1934. Founded by Masataka Taketsuru, the father of Japanese whisky, Yoichi is known for its traditional coal-fired distillation and distinctly maritime style. The Nikka Yoichi Grande is a rare and limited release, celebrating the distillery’s heritage with a richer, deeper take on its signature profile, offering a taste that bridges Scotland’s old-school craftsmanship with Japanese precision.
Tasting Notes
Tasting Profile:
Nose: Smoked oak, sea spray, and notes of ripe stone fruit.
Palate: Rich malt sweetness, roasted nuts, gentle spice, and a wave of peat smoke balanced by orchard fruit.
Finish: Long, warming, with lingering smokiness and a touch of salted caramel.
Serving Suggestions:
Enjoy neat to appreciate its complexity, or with a drop of water to open up the layers of fruit and spice.
