Yoichi 10 Year Old 2023 Release
The Tasting Notes
Fresh and incredibly herbaceous. Hints of fruits bring softness to the first nose. The peat is very discreet, enhancing the other aromas. Allowed to breathe, rich pastry notes emerge.
Smooth, lively. The first palate is fresh and peppery. The mid-palate reveals soft and creamy pastry flavours while the subtle peat slowly fades.
Long, dry. Flavours of wetland balance the oaky aromas.
Details
This is a single malt from Nikka's first distillery established in 1934. The founder Masataka Taketsuru chose Yoichi in Hokkaido because of the similar environmental conditions to Scotland, where he learned whisky-making. Along with Yoichi's original smokiness, this 10 year old version offers round maturity generated over years integrated with distinctive peaty, well-balanced woody and delicate herbaceous notes.
