Yoichi 10 Year Old 70cl Whisky
Yoichi 10 Year Old
Unavailable for 7 years even in Japan, age statement Yoichi has made an exciting return (in sadly small quantities at this stage) to these shores! The jewel in Nikka's crown, this is traditionally made, well-crafted Japanese single malt (direct-fired stills, worm tubs, proprietary yeasts, wooden washbacks) with real clarity, and notes of vanilla, fruit, some peat smoke, and a salty edge.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Plenty of fruit notes - peach stands out in particular, ripe, vibrant and subtly floral. Then there's rich vanilla custard, peat smoke and a hint of nutmeg spice.
Palate
Oily and sweet, with peat smoke following swiftly afterwards. Light oak and developing fruit notes beneath.
Finish
Appealing oak lasts on the finish.
