Nikka Yoichi Aromatic Yeast 2022 Single Malt Whisky

Nikka Yoichi Aromatic Yeast 2022

The 2022 edition focuses on the specific influence of yeast in the flavour profile of the whiskies. Yoichi Discovery Aromatic Yeast reveals a floral and fruity universe strongly marked by the characteristic peat of the distillery located on the island of Hokkaido.

The yeast's role in the process of Whisky making is often underestimated. Even treated as an afterthought by mavericks who think "it's all about the wood." Well, true distilling masters understand each ingredient's importance to the final product.

The Yoichi Single Malt Aromatic Yeast is Nikka's tribute to the mighty yeast cell. Part of the 2021 Discovery series, created to highlight the key stages in the creation of its Yoichi and Miyagikyo Single Malts, this 2022 Yoichi focuses on the specific influence of low-temperature fermenting yeast in the flavor profile. The Whisky reveals a floral and fruity character, full of lilly, carnation, apple, pear, and yellow melon marked by the characteristic peat.
