The palate is full-bodied, delivering a balance of peat, smoke, spices, and fresh fruit, with a long, silky finish.Â
-
Nose:The whisky presents a mellow peat initially, followed by evolving aromas of smoke, soot, salty notes, candied citrus fruits (lemon, orange), black liquorice, and spices like nutmeg and ginger. It also reveals heady and floral notes of carnation and iris.
-
Palate:The palate is firm and powerful, with a balanced attack of peat, smoke, spices, fresh fruit (melon, kiwi), and nuts (almond, walnut). The mid-palate features chocolate notes before the peat returns to the forefront.
-
Finish:The finish is long and silky, overflowing with ripe fruits like pear, Mirabelle plum, and apple. The peat takes on an herbaceous and malty character, while the salty notes add depth and coastal freshness. The final nose may offer hints of menthol, spicy notes like coriander and dill, and earthy notes of leather and chestnuts.
Yoichi whiskies are known for their bold and heavy flavor profiles, even when aged in new barrels. The Yoichi distillery’s signature is the use of direct coal-fired distillation, which contributes to the peaty and smoky characteristics.The sea breeze from the Ishikari Bay also imparts a briny hint during maturation.Â
