WhiskeyFest SF 2022 - (reused glass so not doing tasting notes) really nice. Will never find in the wild but delicious. I would lean less peatier if had to make a choice. Yoichi is the peatier one. Nikka - Single Malt Yoichi Aromatic

Way more bourbon like than yoichi. Reconfirming my love of Yoichi. Happy to be able to get my hands on the single distillery bottlings in Atlanta — 8 years ago

WhiskeyFest SF 2022 - (reused glass so not doing tasting notes) one of two aromatic yeast options. One was peatier than the other. Both were light and delicious. I would lean less peatier if had to make a choice. Yoichi is the peatier one if I recall correctly. Nikka - Single Malt Yoichi Aromatic

Medium Dark amber unctiousness. So pleasant; apricot with peach weight decadence meets drizzled caramel and baked apple that brings pine forest fire sharply, hot and precise, before grilled yellow peppers and lava salt unfold to daffodil delicate and ethereal. Nose of golden tears. You drink in acanthus long before your sip; gum Arabic, hot orange honey and graphite. Mocha tobacco, bourbon barrel aged grappa, smoke of charred pit pig fat, roasted Tabasco pepper, and cinnamon oil and green olive grapple over cracked black pepper, anise seed, lavender oil, oregano oil and charred orange peel. Disturbs the mind in its swing from darkness to light, from life to death and finally rebirth. Volcanic and chaotic, but ripe for life and ultimately reverberating in possibility. #nikka #nikkawhisky #nikkapuremalt #taketsuruwhisky #thenikkawhiskydistillingco #whisky #japan #japanesewhisky #nippon #nipponwhisky #masetakataketsuru #yoichi #miyagikyo #whiskey — 4 years ago

Less fruit than suggested and also more peaty than expected - however wonderful pear and a great smokey finish — 9 years ago
