As a young man, he was sent to Scotland to learn the secrets of Whisky. He did … but he also learned about love. He met Rita Cowen—a Scottish lass whom he married and took back to Japan with him. He remained employed by other spirits makers for a few years, but Rita encouraged him to step out on his own. In 1934, he founded \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Yoichi Distillery\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; and grows it to great success. Yoichi Distillery lies in southern Hokkaido and is surrounded on three sides surrounded by mountains, a terrain much similar to the one Taketsuru found in Scotland. Yoichi possesses its own cooperage and is particularly careful when selecting its \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;hogshead barrels\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;, which are made on-site using \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;new oak. \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;The Yoichi Distillery now produces \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;a wide range of Whiskies\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;, but the \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Yoichi line\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; still forms the \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;heart and soul \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;of the company. Demand for their exceptional spirits is high, and the simply named — almost Zen-like — \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Yoichi Single Malt\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; is designed to help fill the need. This fine Japanese Whisky is comprised of their signature single malt spirits from a range of ages, blended to deliver a refined dram with mellow smokiness and an almost Lowland-style fruity, almost maritime character.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45132276760758,"sku":"39672","price":24.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/1251\/9862\/files\/nikkayoichisinglemalt-700ml_39672_01_c1cfdb3e_5d586df1-bd92-492c-8974-540fef3bd33a.jpg?v=1779127145","url":"https:\/\/noblebottle.com\/products\/nikkayoichisinglemalt-700ml-39672","provider":"noblebottle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
