Yoichi Single Malt Bottle & Glass Set

This elegant new single malt gift set from the house of legendary Masataka Taketsuru seeks to celebrate the iconic Yoichi distillery.

Two Riedel crystal glasses, decorated with the iconic Nikka Whisky emblem, are nestled alongside a bottle of Nikka Yoichi single malt whisky, in a deep blue box reminiscent of the coastal climate of the Yoichi distillery.

The panels of the gift box detail the distillery’s storied history, along with tasting notes of the whisky, offering an elegant education to enhance the tasting experience.

Nikka Yoichi Single Malt displays notes of juicy tropical fruits wrapped in delicate saline smoke, with a long and silky finish.

Nose: Full-bodied, smooth. A mellow peat softly coats the aromatic palette at first, growing more powerful with time, as smoke, soot and salty notes transcend the initial nose.

Palate: Firm, powerful. A well-balanced attack gives equal footing to aromas of peat, smoke, spices, fresh fruit and nuts, which it delivers in spades. The mid-palate starts off with chocolate notes, but the peat soon takes the lead once again.

Finish: Long, silky. Extremely mature, it overflows with ripe fruit.The peat starts taking on an herbaceous and malty character, while the salty flavours gives the finish plenty of depth and coastal freshness. The final nose offers menthol, spicy and earthy notes.
