Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
light gold
air Nose
I find it very unusual, with these medicinal notes, this camphor, these bandages, this chalky side, all the pinewood, the green tea, then the pineapples and passion fruits, these ashes, this distant smoke (garden bonfire)… It's complex for sure, but let's remember that Yoichi, even when NAS, is a very classy whisky. The 46% always work
restaurant Palate
frankly, I had thought that the combination of some young smoky malt with some richer, sweeter rum notes would create a wreck of a whisky. Well that's not exactly the case, even if some parts are a little unusual indeed (rubbery and sour fruits). Notes of salted lemons, oysters, curry powder, yuzu (but naturally), and indeed rubber and camphor. Good
timer Finish
loses one or two points here, as it gets a little too ashy and drying for me, which doesn't combine too well with the rubber
