- Description
- Yoichi's delicately peated Japanese single malt finished in sherry casks and bottled at 46% ABV in 2018 marries Hokkaido's maritime influence with the warmth of fortified oak. The peat smoke remains restrained, allowing sherry fruit—dried stone fruits and oxidative complexity—to emerge alongside subtle salinity. A sophisticated expression bridging Japanese distilling precision with European oak tradition.
