Nikka Yoichi 1988 20 Year Old, Bourbon & Sherry Cask, 2008, 55%

A Maltiply member's tasting notes and whisky impression.

89 / 100

The dried fruit and dark chocolate have the richness I look for in a sherry-cask whisky, while earthy peat smoke and savoury notes keep it from seeming simply sweet. The creamy texture appeals to me; the dry oak on the long finish gives it a firmer edge.
