Nikka Yoichi 1988 20 Year Old

Nikka Yoichi, born from the vision of Masataka Taketsuru – a pioneer who studied distilling in Glasgow and apprenticed at Scottish distilleries – embodies a unique fusion of Japanese precision and Scottish tradition. Established in 1934 on the northern island of Hokkaido, chosen for its strikingly similar climate to Scotland, Yoichi distillery aims to capture “the taste of the wind” in every drop. This 20-year-old expression, matured for two decades, delivers a robust and meaty character thanks to Yoichi’s direct-fired stills and worm tub condensation. Expect a complex whisky with a powerful profile, reflecting Taketsuru’s dedication to crafting a spirit of exceptional depth and flavour.
