Common Questions
Is my Yoichi 'NAS' valuable?
The standard No Age Statement Yoichi available today is common. We buy it, but for a lower price.
What about the 500ml bottles?
We buy them, but the offer is adjusted for the smaller volume.
Do you buy 'Wood Finish' editions?
Yes, we look for Yoichi Rum Wood, Sherry Wood, and Bourbon Wood finishes.
Why is the 20 Year so expensive?
It was discontinued years ago and stocks are extremely low globally.
Do I need the original box?
For vintage and age-statement bottles, yes, the box adds significant value.
Do you buy 'Nikka From the Barrel'?
Generally only in bulk cases, as individual bottles are lower value.
