Single Malt Whisky 45% 70cl

Yoichi Single Malt Whisky

Based in Hokkaido, which is a colder, more northern part of Japan. Yoichi distillery has access to excellent water, and for their founder it felt like a similar place to the highlands of Scotland, so an excellent place to make whisky when they started distilling in 1934. This is a chance to try a peated whisky from Japan, from one of the original Japanese whisky distillers. We are big fans of Yoichi, and thoroughly recommend it.

Official Tasting Notes

Nose – Warming spiciness at first, with rich, ripe stone fruit and a delicate smokiness.

Palate – The peat really kicks in on the palate, with an earthy smokiness, well supported by spicy notes from the oak. Softness arrives in the form of peach and orange notes, while a savoury nuttiness adds an extra layer of flavour.

Finish – The peat and oak dominate, with a pleasant maritime smokiness. Comment: The typical Yoichi robust, peaty flavour is present and correct. Slightly savoury, with a good level of complexity with the spice, oak and peat.
