Description

The Nikka Yoichi Peaty & Salty is a single malt Japanese whisky, part of the Key Malt Series, produced by the renowned Yoichi Distillery in Hokkaido, Japan. Founded in 1934 by Masataka Taketsuru, the Yoichi distillery is known for its traditional direct coal-fired distillation. This distillery-exclusive bottling is celebrated for its characteristic peat smoke and sea salt notes, offering a bolder and more pronounced peaty profile compared to other expressions, often drawing comparisons to Islay whiskies.

Nose
A full-bodied aroma with wafts of sea spray, briny driftwood, and smoldering campfire embers. It presents notes of old nets, peat, malt, salt, old oak, and minerality, balanced by hints of vanilla bean, tropical fruits, and a touch of brine.
Palate
Extremely rich and balanced, with a powerful peat smoke coating the tongue, reminiscent of campfire embers. It offers sweetness of malt, astringent sourness, and sea salt spice, evoking a sip of seawater on a windswept beach, alongside caramel-like bitterness and smoky flavor.
Finish
A perfect, long-lasting finish with lingering peat, malt, and notes of fishing nets, smoke, salt, and medicinal qualities. It leaves a sweet finish with a touch of lemon peel and a persistent salty character.
