Yoichi 1985 Single Cask #250192 / Whisky Live 2007

A Japanese single malt bottling from Nikka's flagship distillery in Hokkaido. Nikka was founded 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, modelling its pot stills on the long-necked design of the Longmorn stills in Speyside.

This whisky was distilled in March 1985 and laid to rest in single cask #250192 before being bottled in January 2007.

The cask was selected by Dave Broom for Whisky Live 2007.
