Description

A distillery-exclusive single malt from Nikka's Yoichi Distillery, bottled at 55% ABV. This release highlights Yoichi's signature peated style, beautifully balanced by the rich, fruit-laden depth of carefully selected sherry casks. Crafted using traditional direct coal-fired pot stills, it embodies the bold, smoky intensity that Yoichi is celebrated for, while introducing a softer, sweeter dimension through its maturation. The influence of sherry casks imparts notes of dark fruit, dried fig, and subtle spice, enhancing the distillery's coastal malt with unexpected warmth and roundness. It is part of a series showcasing different component whiskies from Yoichi.

The dried fruit and dates give this a sweet, sherried direction, while the subtle peat smoke adds contrast. The malty grain on the finish is a nice detail for anyone curious about the malt character, though the smoky, musty notes may not suit every preference.

There’s a clear pull between sweet, fruit-rich notes and the smoky, savoury edge. Dates, red berries and cinnamon make the palate sound inviting, while subtle peat smoke keeps it from feeling straightforward. The finish has more challenging details, including tire rubber and burned newspaper, so this seems less easygoing than the sweetness might first suggest. It’s an interesting balance, though the smoky, musty side may not suit every preference.
