Nikka Yoichi 10 Year Old Single Malt Whisky Puerto Rico A Solera Vat process isThe 10 year version of Nikka's Yoichi is recently back on the market after an eight year hiatus. This single malt has an earthy peated nose with crisp hints of citrus and banana. At 90 proof, Yoichi 10 is light on the mouthfeel with heavy notes of sandalwood, followed by another touch of citrus. The fruit dominates a lingering finish, backed up with more notes of malt and wood. Check Kanpai Planet's review for more details on this elusive Nikka whisky.
