Nikka Yoichi — a peated, coastal single malt from Hokkaido, rugged and uncompromising.
Yoichi sits on the northern tip of Hokkaido, where the climate is cold, the air maritime and the conditions closer to the Scottish Highlands than anywhere else in Japan. Founder Masataka Taketsuru chose it deliberately. The whisky reflects its home — peated, coastal and uncompromising, with a character more rugged than anything from Miyagikyo. For those who came to Japanese whisky through Islay.
Rich, smoky and maritime — dried fruit and dark spice ride over a backbone of peat and coastal brine, deep and warming from first nose to last.

Neat or with a drop of water to open up its layers.
