Distilleries blamed unexpected demand outpacing supply for this, and began releasing non-age statement expressions to keep the whisky flowing. But Nikka, the second biggest Japanese whisky brand after Suntory, just announced that it’s bringing back a 10-year-old age statement to its Yoichi single malt—something Japanese whisky fans will be very happy about.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNikka first removed its 10, 12, and 15-year-old age statements from Yoichi nearly a decade ago in 2015 (Yoichi is one of the two distilleries operated by Nikka, the other being Miyagikyo). Then in 2019, Nikka removed the 17, 21 and 25-year-old age statements from its Taketsuru Pure Malt, a blend of malt whisky from different distilleries. So the return of Yoichi Single Malt 10-Year-Old is a big step for Nikka, which increased production by 20 percent starting in 2019 and announced plans to surpass its 1983 peak by the year 2025.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nikka","offers":[{"title":"750 ml","offer_id":52011540906305,"sku":"4904230071686","price":179.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0997\/7223\/6097\/files\/0714_1ala.jpg?v=1784842327","url":"https:\/\/heritagereserves.com\/products\/nikka-yoichi-10-year-single-malt-whisky","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
