Nikka Yoichi 10 Year Old
This Nikka Yoichi 10 Year Old single malt whisky is made from a blend of malt whiskies that have been distilled and matured for at least 10 years in oak casks using traditional methods such as direct charcoal roasting, which Masataka Taketsuru, the founder of Nikka, brought back after a visit to Scotland.
After a seven-year hiatus caused by insufficient supplies of aged malts, Yoichi 10 Year Old is back and boasts the perfect combination of Scottish tradition and Japanese finesse, offering a rich and complex new flavour experience.
On the nose, Yoichi has a fresh herbal profile characterised by complex aromas of dried fruit, ripe banana and malted grain that blend seamlessly with more subtle notes of black pepper and peat smoke.
On the palate, this whisky is both fresh and smooth, with intense flavours of custard, smoky oak and an elegant hint of peat, which carry through to a long, warm finish characterised by spice and woody notes in perfect balance.
The bottles are filled at 45 % alcohol in a 0,7 l capacity and come in a gift box.
