Yoichi Nikka Rare Old 64cl 1960s

A very rare bottling from Nikka in Japan. Nikka was established in 1934 by Masataka Taketsuru, a former Suntory employee who had studied at the University of Glasgow, and later trained as a blender at the now lost Hazelburn distillery in Campbeltown.

Taketsuru opened the Yoichi distillery in the same year as establishing the company, in 1934, modelling its pot stills on the long-necked design of the Longmorn stills in Speyside.

This 1960s bottling contains malt whisky from this now highly sought after distillery.
