History,
Nikka Whisky marks the return of age statements to its U.S. portfolio with debut of Yoichi Single Malt 10-Year-Old.
The first age statement to come from the brand in several years, the release of Nikka Yoichi Single Malt 10-Year-Old commemorates 10 buildings located within the Yoichi Distillery site that received special designation as Japan’s “Important Cultural Properties” in February 2022, a nod to Nikka Whisky’s historical contribution to Japanese whisky.
Tasting Notes,
Nose: Plenty of fruits on the nose, with dried berries, gentle poached pears and sweet peach combining perfectly with hints of vanilla, nutmeg and building peat smoke.
Palate: The palate arrives with more peat smoke that is followed by soft oak and more juicy fruits,
Finish: Finish lasts for a medium length with rich oak, peat and creamy vanilla.
