Nikka Yoichi 12 years with 700 ml. and 45 % volume.
Initial whiffs — Really fruity!! Strawberries, lots of them, pepper, vanilla (it almost noses like the Glenfarclas 15yr, perhaps it’s the spicy pepperiness of it all). With a dash of water caramel comes through, big time, chocolate & old wooden furniture.
On the mouth – Very thin palate, more like Grappa, effervescent (little bubbles and fast ones at that), plastic shopping bags and white grape soda (if there were a thang). Again, with a dash of water, it get quite earthy, almost a damp earth quality to it and less thin
Finish – Tannic, very drying, the effervescence remains but with that water, the creaminess carries through.
In sum — There is a lot here – a whole hell of a lot here and each level of tasting had something new to offer. You could drink this and not think about it but if you set out to taste it rather than drink it well… you’re in for one hell of a fun ride. Well done Nikka!!
