ABOUT
Take a trip to Japan’s wild north with Nikka 10 Years Old Yoichi Single Malt Whisky. Born at the Yoichi Distillery in Hokkaido, this 10-year-old gem packs a smoky punch at 90 proof. Crafted by Nikka’s founder, Masataka Taketsuru, it’s a coal-fired marvel—think rugged peat meets refined elegance. Relaunched in 2022 after years off the shelf, this limited beauty blends bold maturity with a whisper of sea breeze from Ishikari Bay. Sip it neat to savor the depth, or let it shine in a highball. Wondering what a decade of Hokkaido magic tastes like? This single malt’s rich, peaty soul—aged in ex-bourbon and sherry casks—delivers a taste of tradition that’s tough to beat. At $150-$175, it’s a fleeting steal for whiskey hunters!

TASTING NOTES

Nose: Smoky peat swirls with ripe banana and dried fruit. Hints of oak and black pepper tease the senses. It’s bold yet fresh.

Palate: Creamy custard rolls in, laced with smoky oak and a touch of herbaceous zest. Peat builds, balanced by sweet malt.

Finish: Woody spice lingers with a warm, peaty glow, fading into a long, dry hum of earth and elegance.

FOOD PAIRING

Craving a perfect match? Pair this whisky with grilled mackerel—the smoky peat loves the fishy char. Want a bite? Sharp cheddar sharpens the spice just right. For dessert, try a smoky bacon brittle; it’s a wild echo of the finish. Feeling fancy? Seared venison with a berry glaze ties the fruit notes into a hearty feast.
