Tasting Note
A ten year old, elegantly peaty single malt from Nikka's beautiful Yoichi distillery in Hokkaido, where whisky is made as it used to be in Scotland with small direct-fired stills and matured in the finest wood the company can find. Bottled at 45% for extra oomph. On the face of it, this is expensive for a ten year old whisky, but it's well worth the money in quality terms.

Nikka
Born in 1894 into a family of sake producers, Masataka Taketsuru is considered the father of Japanese whiskey. After training as a chemist, he was hired by the Settsu Shuzo company which sent him to Scotland in 1918 to do his apprenticeship. He developed a passion for whiskey and decided to devote his life to it. In 1934, he built Yoichi, his first distillery, on the island of Hokkaido. Its growing success allowed it to establish a second in 1969 near Sendai: Miyagikyo. It is from the single malts of these two distilleries that the Nikka Whiskey group declines its entire range of Japanese whiskeys.
