Nikka, Yoichi NAS 30 to 60 bottles

Nikka, Yoichi NAS 30 to 60 bottlesThis is a single malt from the Yoichi distillery, Nikka's first distillery built in 1934. The founder Masataka Taketsuru chose Yoichi in Hokkaido because of the similar environmental conditions to Scotland, where he learned whisky making. Yoichi single malt has pleasant peaty notes and smokiness originating from the traditional direct coal fired distillation as well as a briny hint delivered by the sea breeze during the aging process. Type: Single

Ambonnay and Tours-sur-Marne are added to make Delamotte Brut and Delamotte Rosé

The soils are sandy-gravelly and 4 grape varieties coexist here: Merlot (60%)

Type: Single Malt
