About This Whisky
Yoichi Grande is a limited single malt released by Nikka in April 2022, first sold through Japanese airport duty-free shops alongside Miyagikyo Grande.
Nikka built the Grande to turn up Yoichi's defining traits.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Fresh and aromatic, with honey drops, smoked black tea and soft peat.
- Palate: Warm and punchy, then sooty peat, charred oak, berries, vanilla and chocolate malt.
- Finish: Clean and woody, with mint, herbs and a light smoky tail.
Serving & Food
Try it on a large block of ice to soften the 48% and release the vanilla, or make a smoky highball with chilled soda and a twist of lemon. Serve with grilled salmon, smoked duck or barbecue pork ribs.
Good to Know
How is it different from standard Yoichi? More heavily peated malt and virgin oak.
What's the style? Full-bodied, with peat smoke, charred oak and vanilla.
