The new edition has a higher market circulation than the old edition, and its market price is also slightly lower than the old edition. Therefore, confirming whether you have the new or old edition before selling is the first step in valuation. This is part of Yoichi's core age statement series, and the entire age statement series has been gradually phased out since 2015 – in other words, even the new edition with higher circulation will not be restocked.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eYoichi's Peated Style and Market Background\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYoichi's peat expression differs from the medicinal iodine notes of Islay, Scotland, leaning more towards charcoal grilling and bonfire smoke, with a hint of saltiness and minerality from the Hokkaido sea breeze. It is a highly recognizable Japanese single malt. Since Nikka announced the discontinuation of age statement versions in 2015, the market circulation of Yoichi's core 12\/15\/20 year old editions has gradually shrunk, and the secondary market transaction prices have consequently strengthened.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eVersion\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eYoichi 12 Year Old (New Edition)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eAge\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e12 Years Old, new edition black label\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eDistillery\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eYoichi, Hokkaido, under Nikka\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eType\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eJapanese Single Malt Whisky\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eMarket Status\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eRegular age statement versions have been gradually discontinued or limited since 2015\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eNew Edition Identification and Factors Affecting Resale Price\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNew vs. Old Edition Identification: The main color of the new edition label is black, distinctly different from the light beige of the old edition.
