This bottling of a 20-year-old Yoichi single malt as an original bottling from the distillery was originally the highlight of the core range before all Yoichi age statements were discontinued in 2015. The whisky matured in ex-bourbon, ex-sherry and virgin oak casks and was bottled in 2012.
Yoichi is a distillery in Yoichi, a small town near Sapporo on the island of Hokkaido in Japan. It was founded in 1934 by Masataku Taketsuru, who had previously spent 10 years building the first Japanese distillery at Suntory. The distillery is strongly based on the Scottish model, and the location and climate are also reminiscent of the Highlands.
The whisky from Japan is like its makers. At first glance, reserved, respectful and polite. On closer inspection, however, enormously profound and multi-layered. Japanese whisky is the result of perfected craftsmanship. Many whiskies from Japan carry exotic fruity aromas and a floral bouquet in front of them.
