Tasting Notes
Nose
Coastal peat and iodine lift the nose, brushed with sea-salt brine and smoked malt. Vanilla and caramel ride a toasted oak backbone, while citrus zest and almond keep it bright. Subtle leather, espresso and cocoa unfold with time, revealing decades of maturation and the Yoichi legacy in a single, multilayered aroma.
Palate
Powerful yet elegant, the palate unfolds with maritime peat and cocoa-dusted smoke, gliding into toffee, vanilla, and dark fruit. Briny sea spray and black pepper sharpen the sweetness, while oak adds a polished, silky texture. A long, saline finish lingers with smoke, citrus rind, and caramelized pear.
