About This Whisky
Yoichi 20 Year Old is a mature single malt from Nikka's Hokkaido distillery, bottled at 52% and withdrawn along with the rest of the age-stated Yoichi range in 2015.
At 52%, this is stronger than the 15-year-old, and it shows the full weight of Yoichi's coal-fired spirit after two decades in cask.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Baked apple, dried citrus and malt, with sea air and gentle peat smoke.
- Palate: Firm and complex.
- Finish: Long and smoky, with citrus peel, oak spice and a lingering salinity.
Serving & Food
Take the first sip neat, then add water a few drops at a time. Try it alongside grilled lamb, aged cheddar or oysters.
Good to Know
Where does the smoke come from? Yoichi's direct-fired stills.
What's the style? Baked fruit, leather and deep oak, with smoke behind.
