The Whisky Yoichi Discovery Aromatic Yeast by Nikka represents a Japanese excellence that sublimely expresses the tradition and innovation of the Yoichi distillery, located in the Hokkaido region. This expression is characterized by the use of selected aromatic yeasts that provide a unique olfactory profile, rich in fruity and floral nuances, intertwined with peaty and mineral notes typical of the volcanic territory surrounding the distillery.

The distillation process still takes place with traditional pot stills, while the aging occurs in oak barrels that contribute delicate tannins and spicy notes. On the palate, the whisky shows itself to be harmonious and enveloping, with a perfect balance between sweetness, smoke, and a fresh acidity that enhances its drinkability. The finish is long and persistent, leaving traces of sweet tobacco and dried fruit.

Particularly suitable for lovers of high-quality Japanese single malts, the Yoichi Discovery Aromatic Yeast is ideal to be tasted neat or with a splash of water to reveal all its nuances. It pairs beautifully with smoked fish dishes, intensely flavored meats, and aged cheeses, proving to be a complete and refined sensory experience.
