Nikka Whisky - Yoichi Vertical Age-Statement Collection (10, 12 & 15 Years) - All Discontinued and Rare - 3 Bottles with Original Boxes - 70cl Description Up for auction is a monumental lot representing the discontinued history of Nikka’s legendary Yoichi distillery. This collection features a complete age-statement vertical: the Yoichi 10, 12, and 15 Years Old. These classic expressions were discontinued in 2015 due to critical inventory shortages, making them highly coveted and incredibly rare collector's items. Produced at Nikka’s coastal distillery on Hokkaido, Yoichi is renowned for its specific peat smoke, derived from tradition and distinct from Islay, creating a robust, briny, and elegant spirit. This set allows for a unique comparative exploration of how the Yoichi character evolves and deepens over 15 years of coastal maturation. Included in this exclusive lot: 1.
