In stock
Another of the 2018 limited releases from Nikka. This time we have a Bourbon cask finished Yoichi, matured in refill casks before being finished for a year in first fill bourbon casks. Only 2934 bottles have been produced.
Floral, fresh and sweet on the nose, with pear, lemon and vanilla aromas, all wrapped in gentle peat smoke. The palate is oaky and spicy with vanilla, baked apples, banana, clove and roasted walnuts. The finish is long and delicately smokey. There's also a spicy menthol hit and nuttiness too.
