Tasting Notes
"Big and powerful throughout, the Yoichi 20 starts of with strong aromas of peat, licorice, and wood. On the palate dark chocolate and abundant smoke lead, as subtle, sweet fruit notes follow closely. The peat and rich sweetness rise and balance out on the finish, as the satisfying, creamy mouthfeel lingers on for what seems like forever. "
