Have Any Questions?

Is Nikka Yoichi peated?
Yes — it features subtle but noticeable peat smoke, giving it a distinctly bold and earthy character.

How is this different from Miyagikyo?
Yoichi is smokier and more robust, while Miyagikyo is fruitier and softer. Both highlight different styles from the Nikka portfolio.

Is this whisky made in Japan?
Yes — Yoichi is produced entirely in Hokkaido, Japan, using traditional Japanese and Scottish techniques.

Is this good for Scotch drinkers?
Definitely. If you enjoy Islay or Highland single malts, Yoichi offers a similar smoky depth with its own Japanese twist.
