The Yamazaki 12 is the closest competition to Yoichi NAS from Yamazaki. It’s a much fruitier and softer whisky. And Yoichi is noticeably peaty, whereas Yamazaki is not. Given the chance to go to Scotland, Masataka enrolled at the University of Glasgow and became the first Japanese ever to study the art of whisky making. He took chemistry courses at the university and apprenticed at distilleries, learning first-hand from craftsmen and training as a blender — he would later become known as a master blender.

BUSINESS PORTAL

walnut), which it delivers in spades. The mid-palate starts off with chocolate notes, but the peat soon takes the lead once again. Masataka established Nikka because he was determined to introduce his fellow Japanese to the joys of authentic whisky. In the following decades, as his company developed and whisky became a fixture in Japan, he remained relentlessly passionate about quality. Never did he allow it to be sacrificed in favor of efficiency. In that sense, Masataka Taketsuru, Father of Japanese Whisky, a sake brewer’s son, never truly left his roots. Nose: Pronounced and expressive. Toffee apples, tangy citrus peels and oily/earthy peat smoke. Wet soils and greenery (herbs, leaves and mosses) and joined by sweet orange juice and slight nuttiness. Smoke levels are higher than I expected and rather pleasant at the same time - a combination of salty coastal smoke and seaweed with elements drawn further inland – woody, earthy and vegetal. Dry fires meets wet fires. A few drops of water heightens sweetness and adds a touch of orange peels alongside some homemade lemonade. You are responsible for all activities through your account.

As mentioned earlier, Yamazaki Distillery was designed and operated by Nikka founder Masataka Taketsuru. Today, Yamazaki also produces iconic malt whisky, but in Osaka. Taste: Slightly oily and nicely fulsome in the mouth – starting with lemons, salty water and barley, peating is gentle, but pervasive across the whole mouth – mineral and nicely balanced with the fruitier elements. In the mid-palate, earthiness once more – soils, mosses and some well-defined maltiness. Sourness is delivered by grapefruit and sits alongside some cask influence – ginger and leather. The addition of water adds some juiciness to the fruits, a touch more sugar and really emphasises the minerality of the smoke. Whiskybase B.V.

This facility was designed to produce whiskies with more peat and Scotch-like character. So they’re more similar to Yoichi than Yamazaki. Like Yoichi, Hakushu also utilizes a lot of used Bourbon casks. But overall, Yoichi is more firm, savory, robust, and peaty. Whereas, Hakushu is more crisp, mineral, and apply.

However, Scotch whisky captured the young man’s imagination, and he decided to dedicate his life to whisky. If you’re currently looking for a whisky from Japan’s Yoichi distillery, your available options are virtually limited to just one. The Yoichi Single Malt was introduced in 2016 as the sole replacement for the distillery’s entire range of age statement malts (10,12,15 & 20 year olds). Built in 1934, and located in the northern coastal town (of the same name) on the island of Hokkaido, the distillery was Nikka’s first. The located was selected by the legendary Masataka Taketsuru for its setting, which brought with it both climate and terroir features which he felt were closer to that of Scotland than any other area of Japan, and a whisky style that is inherently coastal.
