Yoichi 1987 20 Year Old

Distilled in 1987 at Yoichi, the cornerstone distillery of Nikka, this 20-year-old whisky embodies a steadfast commitment to traditional production. Yoichi uniquely maintains coal-firing of its stills, a deliberate choice to preserve the spirit’s distinctive character. This expression is a complex marriage of styles – sherry-matured whisky alongside both lightly and heavily peated malts, each benefiting from different cask influences. The result is a richly layered whisky offering a nuanced interplay of fruit, spice, and a subtle smokiness reflective of its coastal Highland origins.
