Yoichi Bourbon Wood Finish (bottled 2018)
Single malt Japanese whisky from Nikka's Yoichi distillery, finished for one year in first-fill bourbon casks and bottled in 2018. The result boasts both complex sweet and savoury flavours, with a lip-smacking creaminess imparted from the casks. Excellent stuff from one of the most well-known whisky distilleries in Japan.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Sweet and fresh plum and pear intertwined with salty peat, light swirls of smoke, candied ginger, gentle vanilla, freshly picked daffodils and lemon sweeties.
Palate
Oaky, with rather salty notes of liquorice, distinct notes of clove with handfuls of candied fruits, namely banana, date, lemon, and honey coated walnuts.
Finish
Long, malted barley and mineral chalky notes, with tobacco, walnut, fresh mint and lasting notes of peat.
