Nikka Yoichi Single Malt

Single Malt — Japan

Reviewed January 22, 2021 (edited January 23, 2021)
3.5
3.5 out of 5 stars
Apples, plum, oranges, but not overwhelmingly fruity (except if you leave it on the tip of the tongue); offset by a sharp but rich idoine/witch hazel tang, all with a spring-water clarity. Just a little dirty in the after-after taste, like a root vegetable kind of earthiness. This comes as a bit of a surprise after the general low/mid affect sweetness. A bit of a numbing back of throat aftertaste, and some heat in the sinuses, and this hits you surprisingly hot at the top of the chest. A fine, easy, sweet but not over sweet quality single malt, with some kick in some surprising places.

    I’ve not had Japanese whiskey recently, but I used to find they really shine once you get to 10+ yr olds. The Yoichi especially.
