Yoichi Woody & Vanillic Distillery Exclusive (2015) 50cl

A rare, interesting release of Yoichi single malt from Nikka which wears its heart on its sleeve. Or, rather, its flavour profile - this expression is titled Woody & Vanillic.

A Japanese single malt bottling from Nikka's flagship distillery in Hokkaido. Nikka was founded in 1934 by Masataka Taketsuru, a former Suntory employee who had studied at the University of Glasgow, and later trained as a blender at the now lost Hazelburn distillery in Campbeltown.  Taketsuru opened the Yoichi distillery in the same year as establishing the company, modelling its pot stills on the long-necked design of the Longmorn stills in Speyside.

A distillery exclusive release from Yoichi, this is from a series covering their main whisky flavour profiles, in this case Woody & Vanillic.
