Yoichi Single Malt shows the characteristics of Nikka's first distillery built in 1934.
Belonging to Casa Nikka, Japan, Nikka Yoichi single malt is made using traditional methods at the distillery located on the northern coast of Japan with the same name. This single malt evokes the learning of Masataka Taketsuru in Scotland with the Japanese interpretation and atmosphere.
The beautiful introduction to the Yoichi range, this non-age edition offers a distinctly fruity character, maintaining the distillery's coastal salty influence. A single malt that balances pleasure and personality, can be perfectly enjoyed before or after a meal.

Test Results	Nose: Full-bodied, smooth. A mellow peat softly coats the aromatic palette at first, growing more powerful with time, as smoke, soot and salty notes transcend the initial nose. The aromas then evolve towards candied citrus fruit (lemon, orange), black liquorice and spices (nutmeg, ginger), and opens up with roots and dried twig aromas. Heady and floral (carnation, iris), it grows increasingly complex. Palate: Firm, powerful. A well-balanced attack gives equal footing to aromas of peat, smoke, spices, fresh fruit (melon, kiwi) and nuts (almond, walnut), which it delivers in spades. The mid-palate starts off with chocolate notes, but the peat soon takes the lead once again. Finish: Long, silky. Extremely mature, it overflows with ripe fruit (pear, Mirabelle plum, apple). The peat starts taking on an herbaceous and malty character, while the salty flavours gives the finish plenty of depth and coastal freshness. The final nose offers menthol, spicy (coriander, dill) and earthy (leather, chestnuts) notes.
