余市 Yoichi Non-peated Nikka Discovery 2021

Yoichi

Located on Hokkaido’s coast, Yoichi Distillery was founded by Masataka Taketsuru in 1934. The distillery is famous for its coal direct-fired distillation and straight-head pot stills, producing robust, peaty whiskies with smoky, coastal character reminiscent of Islay malts.

Yoichi’s single malts embody the essence of traditional Scottish techniques, delivering bold flavors with notes of salt, smoke, and dried fruit. For lovers of smoky whisky, Yoichi remains an essential name in Japanese whisky craftsmanship.
