Nikka Yoichi Single Malt Whisky Producer_xii The wine is aged inThis is a single malt from the Yoichi distillery, Nikkas first distillery built in 1934. The founder Masataka Taketsuru chose Yoichi in Hokkaido because of the similar environmental conditions to Scotland, where he learned whisky making. Yoichi single malt has pleasant peaty notes and smokiness originating from the traditional direct coal fired distillation as well as a briny hint delivered by the sea breeze during the aging process.
