YOICHI 10-year-old Single Malt 45%

€144.00 VAT included

This 10 years old Yoichi Single Malt is a Japanese whisky produced on the island of Hokkaido, in northern Japan. 

It is a fresh and grassy whisky on the nose, with fruity notes that soften this first impression. The peat is discreet and allows full expression of the aromatic palette. 

In the mouth, it is fluid and lively. There is pepper that refreshes the palate, followed by pastry cream that brings roundness, while the shy peat fades away. 

In short, this whisky is a real treat for the taste buds, with a rich and varied aromatic palette, as well as a soft and silky texture in the mouth.


An excellent choice for whisky lovers looking for a memorable taste experience.

THE BRAND

Born in 1894 into a family of sake producers, masataka Taketsuru is considered the father of Japanese whisky. After training as a chemist, he was hired by the company Settsu Shuzo which sent him to Scotland in 1918 to do his apprenticeship. He took 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 allowed him to establish a second one in 1969 near Sendai, Miyagikyo. It is from the single malts of these two distilleries that the Nikka Whisky group declines its entire range of Japanese whiskies.
