Nikka Single Malt Yoichi Non-Peated 750ml

This limited edition of Yoichi single malt was introduced in 2021 as the first of the “Nikka Discovery” series. In anticipation of Nikka Whisky’s 90th Anniversary, the series offers an inside look at the various experiments in the whisky-making process that Nikka has practiced over the years.

This expression is comprised solely of unpeated malts as opposed to the preconceived “peaty” image of Yoichi. It offers a delicate balance of bright fruitiness and rich mouthfeel, along with its distinctive smokiness generated by coal-fired distillation.

In this experimental peat switcharoo Yoichi Single Malt from Nikka distillery has found itself as an un-peated malt: losing some of its smokiness to give place to a finer, softer, more floral expression of this famous release.
