Nikka Yoichi Yoichi Single Malt Japanese Whisky
In stock
Nikka's first distillery, Yoichi, was founded in 1934 by Masataka Taketsuru. He chose the fishing town of Yoichi due its environmental similarities to Scotland, where he leared to make whisky. Yoichi Single Malt is bold and robust in character, with smoke from the peated barley and coal fired stills, and hints of brine delivered by the coastal sea breeze during the ageing process.
Yoichi (the most northern of all the Japanese distilleries) comes up with the goods and despite some obviously younger malt at work here still a superb representation of this distillery's character.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep golden amber with coppery highlights
Nose
Sooty coal-shed smoke forms the backbone, lifting pineapple and tropical fruit with white pepper, dried apricot and a hint of aromatic spices.
Palate
Oily, mouth-coating palate delivering smoked citrus and charred pineapple, vanilla toast and sooty white pepper. Root ginger and sugared almonds mingle with aromatic incense sticks, finishing in a lingering, incense-kissed smoke.
Finish
Long, smoky finish with lively spice. Tropical fruit barbecue lingers, with mango salsa sweetness and a salty white pepper bite, capped by a final whisper of green fig that stays fresh and poised.
