Yoichi 10yo (2022) vs 12yo (2015)

In 2015, Nikka declared that due to the depletion of their aged stocks, the renowned Nikka’s peated single malt aged versions, namely the Yoichi 10, 12, 15, and 20-year-old, would no longer be available. They were then substituted with a non-age statement version referred to as simply ‘Yoichi single malt’ (we reviewed it here).

It was scheduled to be released at the distillery in July 2022, and globally in Japan in November.
