What People Are Saying
The Yoichi 15 is a discontinued age statement expression that commands high prices on the secondary market. Those who have tasted it describe it as a significant step up from the NAS Yoichi, with the additional aging adding depth and complexity to the signature smoky, maritime character. A grail bottle for Nikka fans. The community mourns the loss of Nikka's age statement single distillery range.

How to Enjoy
Best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water. A contemplative whisky for slow sipping.
