Named after Masataka Taketsuru, the revered father of Japanese whisky and founder of Nikka, this exceptional single malt represents the pinnacle of Japanese whisky craftsmanship. Strictly selected from among the finest malts and aged for a minimum of 10 years at the legendary Yoichi distillery on Japan's northern island of Hokkaido, this whisky embodies the birthplace of Nikka Whisky itself.

The Yoichi distillery's unique coastal location, with its harsh winters and maritime influence, creates the perfect environment for maturation. This single malt showcases the distillery's signature character through years of careful aging in select oak casks, resulting in a whisky that balances bold, powerful flavors with remarkable sophistication and elegance.

Each bottle represents a decade of patient maturation, where the original smokiness of Yoichi has evolved into something far more complex—a harmonious marriage of peat, wood, and delicate herbaceous notes that speaks to both tradition and innovation in Japanese whisky making.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Fresh and incredibly herbaceous with an inviting complexity. Smoky peat swirls gracefully with ripe banana and dried fruit, while hints of oak and black pepper tease the senses. The peat remains very discreet, serving as an enhancing backdrop that allows other aromas to shine. This creates a bold yet remarkably fresh aromatic profile that draws you in with each nosing.

Palate

Smooth and lively with a beautifully structured mouthfeel. Creamy custard rolls across the palate, laced with smoky oak and touched by herbaceous zest. The experience is fresh and peppery, with peat building gradually and balanced perfectly by sweet malt undertones. Yoichi's original smokiness has evolved into round maturity, integrating distinctive peaty notes with well-balanced woody character and delicate herbaceous elements that create a harmonious and sophisticated drinking experience.

Finish

Woody spice lingers with warmth, accompanied by a gentle peaty glow that gradually fades into a long, dry resonance of earth and elegance. The finish demonstrates remarkable length and complexity, leaving a lasting impression that invites contemplation and appreciation of the whisky's craftsmanship.
