Nikka Whisky Distilling Company
Yoichi Peaty & Salty Single Malt Whisky
Japan
Certainly well named - the Japanese are very exact with this description - “Peaty and Salty” nails it. I don’t drink a lot of whisky but as the weather cools down it was a great little tipple - one of the best I’ve had in recent years. Iodine/seaweed notes through the spirit. Not shy at 55% ABV and expensive for this 500ml bottle at $300 AUD but superb quality.

Color is light, clear, sort of like green tea. Nose of spice, quite powerful in nasal cavity, peaty flavor, fermented grains, and subtle apple&mango note. Taste is a dance of three main flavors, sweetness, peat, and spice. Very harmonic. You can feel she is young but the depth is nice compared with aged ones. Some fermented grains, and flowering note on the second wave. Aftertaste of peat, slight bittersweet peel, and flowering note, Oh, you can feel her strength too. This is a well made whiskey on par with top distillery from the west.
