Yoichi 10 años Single Malt Whisky

The Yoichi Distillery is located in Yoichi town on the island of Hokkaido, Japan, and is owned by The Nikka Whisky Distilling Co., Ltd. Established in 1934 by Masataka Taketsuru, the first Japanese person to study Scotch whisky production in Scotland, who is celebrated as the 'Father of Japanese Whisky.' Taketsuru specifically chose this location for its climate that closely resembles that of Scotland. Situated on the coast of the Sea of Japan, Yoichi whiskies possess a distinctive maritime character with robust, peaty flavors, traditionally crafted using direct coal-fired pot stills—a method rarely seen today.
