Yoichi Single Malt is a base product from the brand, made in the first Nikka distillery, founded in 1934. The founder, Masataka Taketsuru, chose to build the distillery in Yoichi (here it comes the brand's name) in the Hokkaido prefecture, due to the weather conditions, similar to the Scottish ones, where years before he learned the art of making whisky.
The core is of cereals, it appears rather young at moments. The best notes are the rich ones of citrus, lemon and grapefruit in particular. Then pear and ginger get developed as well. Lastly, marine hints comes to the nose, completing the aromatic palette. Rarely the coastal hints appear more similar to peat.
The citrus notes are still well perceivable, but they result lighter than what they appeared to the nose. The peaty and smoky notes are now more intense, and they are transformed by some extra contributions of diluted olive brine.
Persistency is medium. Notes of light mineral peat can be again identified. Maybe the simplest of the phases.
Yoichi Single Malt is overall an easy product to enjoy. Better performing to the nose, compared to the palate, it can ben considered a very good product to start the exploration of the Japanese terroir.
