This page creates two independent records for older Yoichi 10 Year Old and 12 Year Old bottles; it does not rank their flavour, production volume, release order or price. Nikka’s current Yoichi page supports the brand and single-malt identity, while the specifications and packaging of the older 10- and 12-year-old versions must be established from the physical bottles and contemporary evidence.
Complete Y10 and Y12 separately
| Identifier | Primary label identifier | Bottle-specific fields |
|---|---|---|
| Y10 | Single Malt Yoichi, 10 Years Old | Volume, ABV, front and back labels, bottle base, box and papers, and provenance |
| Y12 | Single Malt Yoichi, 12 Years Old | Volume, ABV, front and back labels, bottle base, box and papers, and provenance |
The 10 and 12 are age statements on the respective bottles, not bottling years. If no contemporary product page is available, do not infer the older packaging from the appearance of today’s non-age-statement Yoichi.
Photograph both bottles together, but do not borrow fields between them
- Use the same angles to photograph the front label, back label, neck, capsule, fill level and bottle base of both bottles.
- Match each box, booklet, barcode, import label and batch to Y10 or Y12 individually.
- If information is missing for one bottle, mark “not seen” only in that row; do not borrow evidence from the other bottle.
- Use the current official brand page only as a source for Yoichi’s identity; maintain the boundary of physical and contemporary evidence for older age-statement versions.
Older Yoichi versions — FAQs
Are 10 and 12 the bottling years?
No. They are age statements on the bottles; the bottling or release date requires separate contemporary evidence.
Can similar-looking boxes be interchanged?
No. Match each box and bottle by expression, volume, ABV, barcode, batch and provenance.
Can the current Yoichi page prove the appearance of an older version?
No. It supports the brand identity; older packaging and specifications require the physical item and contemporary records.
Primary sources and scope
- Nikka: Single Malt Yoichi: supports only the Yoichi brand and identity of the current expression, not the packaging of older 10- and 12-year-old versions.
An official page supports only the names, specifications and history stated there. The vintage or year, version, authenticity, accessories and condition of an individual item must still be checked separately.
