About

A discontinued aged expression from Nikka's coal fired Yoichi distillery in Hokkaido. Won multiple international awards and is now highly collectible. Showcases the powerful, peaty character that Yoichi is renowned for.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Rich peat smoke, maritime salt, dark fruit, toffee, and charred oak

Palate

Bold and peaty with dark chocolate, smoked fruit, brine, dried plum, and robust malt

Finish

Very long, smoky, and deeply satisfying with lingering dark fruit and coal fire notes

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.
