Nikka Yoichi 10 Year

Single Malt — Japan

Reviewed July 8, 2024 (edited July 10, 2024)
2.5
2.5 out of 5 stars
I feel like this is a "new" whisky but reviews confuse me with dates. I assume this came out in the last 2 years, I guess again. So this is a new release. 150 bucks...I'll let people process that. Nose - smoked vinegar apples over coal, followed by honey and sugar. Then the light oak notes come through, showing signs of mild age here. It's both a bit odd and lovely. As it opens the pie crust and lovely dessert notes spread and we have a really nice whisky. Taste - This isn't going to be for most whisky drinkers. It's funky and weird. It's youthful, coal forward, peated, and doesn't have a sweet hook. It's also bringing apples, some sweet and sour notes with lovely coal smoke over mineral peat in the best of ways. Lemon lime, smoked chocolate oak...it's cool. counter point - proof is low and that's not great. It's a bit thin at times. Double counter point - finish is still pretty darn long and it works. 2.50 from me. I really like this one. Worth 150? Maybe...but I paid shipping so I over paid.
150.0 USD per Bottle
