The Yoichi Distillery is located in Yoichi town on the island of Hokkaido, Japan, and is owned by The Nikka Whisky Distilling Co., Ltd. Established in 1934 by Masataka Taketsuru, the first Japanese person to study Scotch whisky production in Scotland, who is celebrated as the 'Father of Japanese Whisky.' Taketsuru specifically chose this location for its climate that closely resembles that of Scotland. Situated on the coast of the Sea of Japan, Yoichi whiskies possess a distinctive maritime character with robust, peaty flavors, traditionally crafted using direct coal-fired pot stills—a method rarely seen today.

Lovely golden dram 🥃 Feels round and a bit oily, with pear drops, quince and green fruit up front. Then you get bergamot, rosehip tea, nutmeg and warm mulling spices. There’s a soft earthy peat smoke, a wee tarry soap thing, liquorice and lapsang tea. Quite waxy, a touch mineral, and nicely long. Proper cosy, but with some muscle.

Right, here goes: Nose is proper warm, like sticky toffee pud 🍮 and a whiff of orange peel drifting thru. Bit of oaky spice too, cinnamon stick kinda thing. Sip hits soft at first, then that honeyed malt rolls in 🍯 followed by a gentle prickle of ginger and a wee puff of peat smoke 🔥—not overwhelming, just a bonfire on a distant beach. Finish is surprisinly long, with a bit of dried apricot and a salty tang that lingers... makes me think of salted caramel 🧂🍬 and old leather armchairs. Honestly, it’s like wrapping yerself in a wool blanket next to a dying fire. Proper cosy dram.

Quite cosy on the nose — honey, soft oak, a bit of pear and orange peel 🍊 Tastes gently sweet, with vanilla, light spice and a wee dry finish. Easy-going, warming, and a bit moreish.

Oh wow, that's quite the sensory experience! 🥃 Starting wiv the nose - imediately getting honey and fresh apples, maybe a touch of pear there too. 🍯🍎 The palate is where it really opens up though. There's this beautifull sweetness, almost like toffee, but then a lovely kick of spice comes through. Cinnamon and maybe a hint of ginger? Really warming stuff. A bit of vanilla comes through aswell, and I'm getting some oakyness that grounds the whole thing nicely. Some dark fruit notes creep in too - plum perhaps? 🍐 The finish just lingers beautifuly - long and satisfying with that smoke coming thru at the end. Proper good stuff this, absolutley cracking! 🤌 Could drink this all evening tbh.

Smoky peat hits you first – like a campfire. 🌲 Then there's a sweet toffe note, maybe honey. Fruity hints on the finish with a bit of oak. Quite warming, really enjoyed it! 👍
