Whiskies from 'Yoichi Distillery'

Read the Whisky Magazine tastings notes for whiskies from Yoichi Distillery.

• Yoichi 10 Years Old

This is a wonderful whisky at 10 Years Old. I love the almost shocking hit of heavy peating.

• Yoichi 10 Years Old, Single Cask

A terrific whisky, beautifully rounded, with lots of everything.

• Yoichi 12 Years Old, Woody and Vanillic

Soft and smooth whisky which seems tired. Not particularly exciting.

• Yoichi 15 Years Old

Creamier than the 10 Years Old, but that softens the peatiness. Between these two, I preferred the peatier ten.

• Yoichi 1985, Cask No. 250216

A sharp character, full of life. Needs water to tame the alcohol. For an outdoor invigorating crisp morning walk.

• Yoichi 1991, Cask No 129504

Another outdoor drink combining estery elegancy and phenolic pungency. High strength must be monitored with water.

• Yoichi Single Cask, 1986

The typical fruitiness of the Yoichi whiskies, but less peat than I remember.

• Yoichi Single Cask, 1989

Again, very fruity, but lacking in other flavours.

• Yoichi Single Cask, 1990

A big whisky, with some of the smokiness I remember.
