This rare version of Yoichi single malt is part of the “Nikka Discovery” series: an inside look at the various experiments made during the whisky making process at Nikka. Focusing on the use of yeasts, this expression recalls estery aroma reminiscent of Ginjyo sake.

Tasting Notes

NOSE: Fine, distinguished, maritime smoke clearly dominates. Allowed to breathe, it makes way for apple, pear, melon, lily, carnation and mint.

PALATE: Firm, lively. Herbaceous, salty and earthy the whisky shows notes of tulip, cyclamen, Mirabelle and coastal flavours.

FINISH: Long, crisp and smooth with white grapes and plum aromas. Delicate notes of liquorice and smoke can be found also.
