Nikka - Yoichi Single Malt Whisky

Keywords : Complex / Harmonious / Finely peated

The spirit : Nikka Yoichi is a great Japanese Single Malt with a timeless style, renowned for its remarkable balance and assertive character. From the very first aromas, it captivates with a light, fine, ashy peat that is perfectly integrated, bringing depth and character without ever overpowering. The palate is ample and smooth, revealing a harmonious aromatic palette where notes of citrus, delicate spices (vanilla, nutmeg, clove, pepper), and dried fruits (hazelnut) mingle. Subtly saline touches enhance the complexity and elegantly prolong the tasting experience. A great classic of Japanese whisky, both precise, expressive, and incredibly addictive, a must-have for any enthusiast wishing to discover or rediscover the excellence of the Nikka style.

The brand : Born in 1894 into a family of sake producers, Masataka Taketsuru is today considered the father of Japanese whisky .After training as a chemist, he was hired by the Settsu Shuzo company, which sent him to Scotland in 1918 to serve his apprenticeship. Masataka then developed a passion for whisky and decided to dedicate his life to it. In 1934, he built Yoichi, his first distillery, on the island of Hokkaido. His growing success enabled him to establish a second one in 1969 near Sendai: Miyagikyo. It is from the single malts of these two distilleries that the Nikka group today offers its entire splendid and renowned range of Japanese whiskies.
