Yoichi Single Malt
Yoichi · Hokkaido · JP · Blend of Yoichi
Vatting of Yoichi malt whiskies balancing peat, smoke and orchard fruit. Bold and structured, with refined peaty notes and toasty smoke from Yoichi's direct coal-fired distillation and a briny hint from sea-breeze maturation off Ishikari Bay.
