Nikka Whisky Yoichi Single Malt, Aromatic Yeast, 2022, Japan (48%, 70cl)
This rare version of Yoichi single malt is part of the "Nikka Discovery" series: an inside look at the various experiments made during the whiskey making process at Nikka. Focusing on the use of yeast, this expression is reminiscent of ester aroma - A bit like Ginjyo sake. The Nikka Discovery series is a series of limited editions. The two limited edition versions in 2022 are Miyagikyo and Yoichi Aromatic Yeast, which highlight the diversity of the yeast used and the style of both distilleries. Both are not chill-filtered to maximize the distinctiveness and taste!
Colour: Pale.
Aroma: Refined and classy scent. First, a herbaceous, salty and empyrumatic peat clearly dominates. When the fruits, flowers and mint are allowed to breathe, the aroma gains momentum. Gradually it becomes more and more milky, tropical and medicinal.
Palate: Firm and robust with herbaceous and slightly salty notes. The more earthy and rooted middle palate pours blocks of peat onto the tongue.
Finish:The finish is floral and fruity.
