Yoichi Sherry Wood Finish Distillery Exclusive Japanese Single Malt Whisky (2018) 70cl

1 of 3132 bottles produced. A distillery exclusive bottling of the best kind of Japanese whisky.... sherried!

We just don't see it often at all and wish there was a great deal more of this!

TASTING NOTES

A slightly savoury and sweet nose of smokey bacon, raisins , dark chocolate, smoke and charred spices. The palate continues with the sherried sweetness - berry, praline, cocoa bitters and raspberry. The finish comes across much more coastal and typical of Yoichi, delicate medicinal smoke and green herbs, linctus and still a faintly sweet edge.
