YOI20700
Yoichi was elected « best of the best » by Whisky Magazine in 2001, bringing international attention to Japan. In 2008, Whisky Magazine chose
this single malt as the world’s best whisky. A magnificent version of the traditional Japanese Yoichi single malt. Atypical and much favoured by
the experts.
Nose: Rich and intense. Very elegant. Peat notes are delicately supported by aromas of fresh fruit. It expresses a sense of great maturity. Resin, rosewood and sunny (preserved apricot), it grows in depth. The peat also increases its presence, and becomes dry (coal) and marine (seaweed, salt).
Palate: Ample, “spherical”. A note of liquorice and frangipane. It has a smoky character, but remains delicate and nuanced. The fruitiness is strong (quince, apple, black cherry). It moves from peat to ripe fruit and back through the aromas in reverse order.
Finish: Long, dense. Perfectly balanced. Field flowers, sweet fruit and nuts give an autumnal and sunny sensation. It develops into rose jam.
Awards: Many Awards won
