Yoichi 15 Years Old Single Malt Japanese Whisky

Yoichi 15 Years Old Single Malt Japanese Whisky is matured for 15 years in a combination of American oak and possibly sherry casks, enhancing its complexity and depth of flavor. Jim Murray in Whisky Magazine, Dec 2000 rated this whisky 9.5/10. Whisky Fun scores it at 87 points. A very bold & complex whisky with a long finish. 

Nose: rich aromas of dried fruits like figs and raisins, honey, and vanilla, complemented by smoke and subtle spice. Palate: a harmonious blend of fruitiness, sweet malt, and oak, with layers of spice and a hint of peat, resulting in a full-bodied, creamy texture. Finish: long and warming, leaving lingering notes of fruit, honey, and gentle smokiness, reflective of the distillery’s coal-fired production methods.
