Nikka Yoichi Single Malt Japanese Whisky 20 Year Old

Colour

Deep amber with a burnished copper-gold glow and a mahogany edge.

Nose

Torched peat and maritime iodine mingle with a briny sea breeze atop sweet malt. Toasted oak, vanilla and honeyed fruit unfold, while cocoa and spice add depth. The nose is smoky, coastal and refined, like a seaside charcoal fire lacquered in caramel and oak.

Palate

Bold, full-bodied palate with deep peat and coastal smoke framing a bed of zesty malt, vanilla, and toffee. Dried fruit, dark chocolate, and a hint of leather unfold, while briny sea salt notes keep the finish brisk. Firm oak supports a velvety texture and a long, smoky, lingering finish.

Finish

Maritime and smoky, the finish unfolds into velvet oak and salted caramel. Briny sea air, leather, and dark chocolate weave with espresso and citrus zest, then fade to a long, warming ember of peat and spice that lingers with elegant resolve.
