At Yoichi Distillery, pot stills are heated by direct coal fire, tended carefully by hand throughout the day.

This rare method demands constant attention, precision, and experience.

Temperature, flame, and timing are adjusted throughout the day, moment by moment. The fire is sustained, cared for throughout the day.

From lighting the coal to cleaning the ash at day’s end, this daily rhythm shapes the character of Yoichi distillery since its foundation, carried forward through time.

At Yoichi Distillery, pot stills are heated with coal. A rare practice that demands precision and patience. Every movement is deliberate. A tradition carried through generations.

An uncompromising method. A distinctive whisky.

Winter settles over Yoichi Distillery.

The season slows the landscape. Pristine snow drapes the stone walls. Beneath the stillness, a quiet warmth endures, sustaining the rhythm of this place.

In the stillness, time moves forward.

Akihiro Eguchi was drawn to bartending by the craft itself, training for five years at a long-established bar in Yokohama before his journey brought him to Singapore.

Now Bar Program Director at Jigger & Pony, he reflects on a career shaped by discipline, respect for tradition, and a belief that growth never truly ends.

He shares why working with NIKKA WHISKY aligns with that mindset. Each expression has its own character, and cocktails should be built to respect it.

“We’re not trying to create something perfect. We’re not searching for perfection. We’re always searching for improvement. That’s the mindset.”

Every legacy begins with a foundation.

Junji Iseki, NIKKA WHISKY’s new Chief Blender, continues a story THE NIKKA LIMITED was created to honor, built on the spirit of those who came before.

Blended with whiskies from Moji and Satsumatsukasa, and a tropical base spirit he developed in Hokkaido, each element carries both legacy and progress.

THE NIKKA LIMITED was created together by former and current chief blenders, symbolizing the passing of craftsmanship from one generation to the next.

With aged malts from the 1970s and 1980s, sweet base whiskies, and Ben Nevis at 200 years, the blend celebrates the beauty of time and continuity.

At Yoichi, 2025 comes to a close with gratitude, reflecting on the year that has passed and honouring each moment along the way, with wishes for everyone to savour life’s journey, one moment at a time.

Shimenawa is a traditional Japanese ritual rope. At Nikka, it reflects Masataka Taketsuru’s roots in a family of sake brewers. Each year, the shimenawa is tied with a wish for the coming whisky to find its natural balance, and for the safety of all who pass through it. A quiet gesture of respect, it marks renewal, protection, and a pause before what comes next.

May the year ahead be filled with presence, joy, and moments worth savouring.
