Nikka Yoichi 12 Year Old Peaty & Salty 50cl

Nikka Yoichi 12 Year Old embodies the pioneering spirit of Masataka Taketsuru, who studied whisky-making in Scotland before founding Japan’s Nikka distillery in 1934. Crafted on the northern island of Hokkaido – a landscape deliberately chosen for its Scottish-like climate – Yoichi whisky is known for its robust character, achieved through direct-fired stills and a worm tub condensation process. This Peaty & Salty expression delivers a bold flavour profile, hinting at smoky peat alongside a distinct maritime saltiness. Expect a full-bodied whisky that captures Taketsuru’s ambition to create a spirit “with the taste of the wind,” bottled at 55% ABV.
