Nikka Yoichi 10 Year Old is a Japanese single malt from Nikka's first distillery on the coast of Hokkaido, bottled at 45% ABV (90 proof).
Yoichi is known for its direct coal-fired stills, which give the whisky its character.
At ten years it adds round maturity to Yoichi's original smokiness, with peaty, woody and herbaceous notes in balance.
