The Yoichi Single Malt Non-Peated US Market 47% 700ml, bottled in 2021, offers a pleasant surprise that overturns the preconceived 'Peaty' image of Yoichi. Made exclusively from unpeated malt whiskies, this expression presents a delicate balance of fruitiness and a rich mouthfeel. Despite the lack of peat, it retains a distinctive smokiness imparted by coal-fired distillation. Limited to just 20,000 bottles, this rare Japanese single malt is a part of the Nikka Discovery series, exploring unique experiments from Nikka's whisky-making process. This 2021 release from Yoichi distillery in Hokkaido diverges from its usual smoky character. Instead, it brings forth aromas of malted barley, acacia honey, garden herbs, ripe fruit, and exotic notes such as peach, apricot, banana, and sweet perfume. The palate is met with lively citrus, vanilla, malted barleys, aniseed, cream, and roasted hazelnuts, leading to a spicy, sweet, and fruity finish. Overall, this Yoichi Single Malt offers a complex and nuanced flavor profile, dominated by sweet and fruity notes with subtle hints of spice and earthiness.
