Nikka Yoichi 15YO

Founded in 1934 by Suntory's first master distiller, Nikka has risen to become Japan's second largest distiller, producing a wide range of single malts as well as their impressive blended whisky range. In 1918, Masataka Taketsuru embarked alone on a long voyage to Scotland. In this distant land the secrets of whisky-making would be imparted to this young Japanese man.

Hailing from Yoichi Distillery, this expression matured for 15 years in well-aged casks. The result is a wonderfully balanced and exceptionally elegant Japanese whisky. A very highly sought-after dram.

Expect refined aromas of walnut whip, gentle flowers, and polished oak. The palate is soft, sweet, and very impressive with Biscoff, cloves, cinnamon, and malt loaf before leading into the long and lingering finish full of peat.
