Yoichi – 10 Year Old

Yoichi 10 Year Old is a Japanese whisky from the Yoichi Distillery in Hokkaido. The 10 year old was discontinued in 2015 and relaunched in 2023. It is described as floral and fruity with a light smokiness. The nose has green apple, citrus and a faint floral hint, with banana, vanilla sweetness, buttery saltiness, sandalwood and light smoke. The palate opens with peach sweetness, then citrus and barley, with a creamy, slightly oily texture and more pronounced smoke. The finish carries citrus peel and spice, with peat that gradually builds.
