“Yoichi” does not identify a single bottling. Nikka’s official product pages distinguish the regular non-age-statement expression, the 10-year-old and several limited editions; an inventory should do the same bottle by bottle.
Examples that can be checked on official pages
| Expression | Details stated on the official page |
|---|---|
| Yoichi Single Malt (non-age-statement) | Introduced as a regular product in 2016; 45% ABV; 700 ml, with a 750 ml edition for the United States |
| Yoichi Single Malt 10 Years Old | Carries a 10-year age statement; the current Japanese product page lists 45% ABV and 700 ml |
| Non-Peated 2021 | A 2021 Nikka Discovery limited edition; 47% ABV; 700/750 ml |
| Apple Brandy Wood Finish 2020 | A 2020 limited edition; 47% ABV; 700/750 ml |
Labels and packaging
- Record the age statement, limited-series name and year on the front as separate fields.
- Transcribe the bottle size and ABV from the back label; do not apply the US 750 ml specification to other markets.
- List the box, booklet, stickers and import back label individually.
Frequently asked questions about Yoichi Single Malt and the 10-year-old
Does the absence of an age statement mean that the bottle is 10 years old?
No. Nikka treats non-age-statement Yoichi Single Malt and 10 Years Old as different expressions.
Can every Yoichi bottling share the same edition record?
No. The limited series, release year, cask treatment, bottle size and ABV may all differ.
