Nikka Single Malt Yoichi 10 Year

Tasting Notes

Nikka's Yoichi 10 Year is a welcome return of age-stated Japanese whisky, offering a delightful experience. Aged 10 years, it presents a beautiful straw-honey color and a nose of creamy custard, salty taffy, and subtle tropical hints like pineapple. On the palate, it's richer than expected, with amplified sweet notes and a syrupy texture. The finish is warm and prickly, balancing fruit and cream with just a touch of plastic, which is a shame. Overall, it's fun, sweet, savory, and incredibly easy to drink, making it a standout single malt that holds its own.
