Nikka Yoichi Single Malt Whisky, 75cl, 45% ABV

A no-age-statement bottling that offers a distinctly fruit-forward expression, while retaining the salty coastal influence of the distillery. A single malt which balances pleasure and personality, it can be enjoyed just as well before or after a meal. The peat really kicks in on the palate, with an earthy smokiness, well supported by spicy notes from the oak. Softness arrives in the form of peach and orange notes, while a savoury nuttiness adds an extra layer of flavour. Best consumed neat or with a splash of mineral water.
