Nikka Discovery Yoichi Non-Peated
Single Malt 47% 2021
This rare version of Yochi single malt is a part of "Nikka discovery" series: An inside look at the various experiments made during the whisky making process at Nikka. Focusing on the diversity of ingredients available at the distillery, this expression is made solely from un-peated malts and offers a pleasant surprises that overtunes the preconceived "peaty" image of Yochi.
Nose: Refined and balanced. Staying close to foundations of malted barley, the first nole also reveals aromas of fruit and acacia honey. Becoming increasingly exotic, it then develops a nobly spicy and herbaceous register. Little by little, medicinal notes delicately cover the aromatic palette.
Palate: Taut and lively. Citrus fruits initially bring a lot of energy to the first impression in the mouth. This lively start it then followed by a beautiful vanilla and almost roasted sequence, the richness of which highlights the incredible balance of sweet and savoury flavours. A particularly mouth-watering bitterness completes picture.
Finish: Long and rich. Like the first nose, the start of the finish foccuses on malted barley. Aniseed, vegetal and creamy flavours gradually spread across the sides of the palate. On the retronasal olfaction, a handful of nuts and juicy fruits bring pleasing length to the very end of the palate.
