Nikka Yoichi Aromatic Yeast Single Malt 2022

First launched in 2021, Nikka's limited edition Discovery Series explores various whisky-making production techniques the brand has practiced over the years. For 2022 Nikka has released a pair of whiskies which focuses on the unique aromas generated by yeast from their two distilleries, Yoichi and Miyagikyo. Each whisky is made using rare, experimental batches from its culture collection. Each bottling consists of only 2,640 bottles.

The Yoichi is partly made from a batch that exhibits aromas reminiscent of ginjo sake and they combine with soft oak and mixed fruits to create a unique but ultimately delicious drinking experience.
