Nikka Yoichi Single Cask #129374 Whisky 18 Year Old · 1991 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and a mahogany undertone.

Nose

Aromas of peat smoke and sea-salt brine rise first, edged with iodine and a coastal glow. Orchard fruit—pear and green apple—unfolds into vanilla-caramel and toasted oak, while faint leather and spice add depth. A refined, maritime bouquet with a breezy, enduring character.

Palate

Full-bodied and oily, this Yoichi opens with a bold wave of peat smoke, sea-salt brine, and charred oak. Rich dark chocolate, espresso, and dried fruit mingle with vanilla and spice, while leather adds depth. The 58% ABV keeps it weighty, delivering a long, maritime finish of smoke, pepper, and resin.

Finish

Long, maritime finish with coastal smoke and iodine, a saline sweetness that lingers into toasted oak, dark chocolate and dried fruit. Peppery warmth persists, threaded by subtle peat and sea-air notes.
