Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with burnished copper tones and mahogany edges, a warm, sun-kissed glow.
Nose
Rich, coastal nose from Yoichi’s coal-fired character: gentle peat smoke entwined with marine brine and iodine, lifting dried fruit and dark apple. Oak spice and vanilla weave through a warm caramel core, with mineral, salt-kissed traces adding depth and authenticity.
Palate
Powerful yet refined on the palate, with a coal-fired backbone and coastal salt that lingers like sea spray. Rich dried fruits layer with dark oak spice, while a whisper of peat smoke threads through the mid-palate. Maritime minerals provide a briny lift, culminating in a long, warming finish that speaks to Yoichi’s classic, single-cask character.
Finish
Long, maritime finish with coastal peat and gentle smoke lingering. Dried fruit sweetness sits over warm oak spice, while a briny sea breeze fades into ember-soft warmth, leaving a refined, authentically Yoichi signature to linger.
