The tasting |
|
|
Bright amber with golden highlights. |
|
| | |
|
Smoky, peaty accents, fruity and floral notes, saline accents. |
|
| | |
|
Intense, balanced and authentic, with delicate marine and peaty notes intermixed with hints of smoke, nutmeg, dried fruit and dark chocolate. The finish is long and persistent. |

The sommelier's advice |
|
|
Serve at room temperature in a Glencairn whisky glass. |
|
| | |
|
As an aperitif, digestif, on its own or for water lovers, we suggest a still, neutral, fresh spring water.
The Japanese sometimes accompany their fish meals with whisky served as mizuwari: the whisky is reduced by two-thirds water and a few ice cubes to give it an alcoholic strength equivalent to that of wine. |

The distillery |
|
|
Delicately peated, Yoichi Single Malt is today the sole representative of Nikka's historic distillery. Produced using traditional methods with direct charcoal toasting, it is a blend of whiskies of different ages, expressing a subtle balance between smoky, fruity and floral aromas. Delicate peaty marine notes punctuated by nutmeg, dried fruit and even dark chocolate complete this intense yet balanced aromatic palette. The long, lingering finish brings this tasting to an apotheosis. Magical with smoked dishes, raw or marinated fish. |

Delicately peated. This Yoichi bottling is today the only representative of Nikka's historic single malt. A blend of whiskies of different ages. Nikka's first distillery, Yoichi is located on the coast of Hokkaido, Japan's northernmost island. Produced using traditional methods such as direct charcoal toasting, the malts perfectly reflect the authentic character of this exceptional place. |
