Whisky Review: Yoichi Single Malt 10-Year-Old at 45% ABV), 750 ml bottle MSRP $175 — at $175. Bright fruit notes hit the nose first followed by notes of honeysuckle, vanilla, lemon zest, j, the question is whether it delivers on its promise. I sat down with a pour to find out.
Nose
Bright fruit notes hit the nose first followed by notes of honeysuckle, vanilla, lemon zest, juicy pear, yellow rose petals, and touch of fresh cut oak.
Palate
On the palate are soft notes of warm spices, golden raisins, slightly buttery vanilla bean, mint, and very subtle hints of smoke on the backend. Delicate-bodied single malt with a clean, supple oiliness that generously blankets the tongue followed by a medium to long finish thats smooth with a subtle creaminess. The flavor profile is not overly complex but vibrant nonetheless and very nicely balanced. Overall, delightfully fragrant and very approachable with a gentle, unassuming decadence.
