Yoichi 15 year old

The Nikka whisky company was founded in 1934 by Masataka Taketsuru, with the creation of his Yoichi distillery on the island of Hokkaido. Arguably the “grandfather” of Japanese whisky, Taketsuru learned his trade studying Organic Chemistry at The University of Glasgow in 1918, before apprenticing at Longmorn, and laterally Hazelburn distilleries. With humble beginnings, producing apple juice and cider to keep the cash flowing while the whisky came of age, Nikka has grown to become one of the best known names in Japanese whisky.

Yoichi 15 Year old from Nikka’s Yoichi distillery, now discontinued and becoming increasingly rare.
