Yoichi 10 Years with box

One batch of this received 93 points in the Jim Murray Whisky Bible.

A ten year old, elegantly peaty sherry cask single malt from Nikka’s beautiful Yoichi distillery in Hokkaido, where whisky is made as it used to be in Scotland with small direct-fired stills and matured in the finest wood the company can find. Bottled at 45% for extra oomph. On the face of it, this is expensive for a ten year old whisky, but it’s well worth the money in quality terms. was elected < best of the best > by Whisky Magazine in 2001, bringing international attention to Japan.
