Authentic Heritage
Nikka Yoichi Single Malt comes from the Yoichi distillery, located on Japan’s northernmost island, Hokkaido. Founded in 1934 by Masataka Taketsuru, Yoichi is Nikka Whisky’s first distillery. Its coastal location, reminiscent of Scotland, plays a key role in shaping the whisky’s distinct character, making it a symbol of Nikka’s dedication to quality and tradition.
