Nikka Yoichi Aromatic Yeast Single Malt Whiskey

These rare versions of Yoichi and Miyagikyo Single Malts are released as the second in the 'Nikka Discovery' series -- limited bottlings that offer an inside look at the various experiments made during the whiskey-making process. The 2022 limited edition bottlings focus on the distinctive aromas generated by yeast selected from Nikka's vast 'culture collection.' This pair of expressions is designed to use rare, experimental batches with unique aromas that originated from yeast. Single Malt Yoichi Aromatic Yeast is crafted with yeast that yields a unique aroma reminiscent of ginjyo sake, which complements Yoichi's distinctive smokiness generated by coal-fired distillation. Careful blending is practiced, ensuring each expression balances the unique aromas with the authentic style of each distillery.
