Nikka Yoichi 10 Year

Nose: Malted barley similar to beer, then fresh barley and fruits. Floral notes at the end. Fresh, vibrant and dark. Taste: Oil makes a velvet entrance on your palate, then turns into coal smoke. Vanilla, nuts, fruits and toffee. Finish: Creamy, with oak and fruits. Deep smoke in the aftertaste. Balance: Deep, dark and velvety tones coming through in every step of the tasting. Great single malt whisky from Japan.

Smooth on the nose with a slightly smokey aroma. Strong tasting whisky that's sweet with a mild pepper note. Tastes much milder when ice is added.

From Nikka’s ‘peaty’ distillery – this stunningly–balanced Yoichi is like Ardbeg in reverse: with bigger emphasis on fruitiness and sweetness rather than smoke. Yes, it will make love to your tongue.
