Self pick-up from our Shop in Robertson Quay only.

We previously wrote about the Yoichi 1988 in our 2014 Collection: “The ‘heavy peat’ character of this version, which feels almost self-evident, is matched only by its ability to deliver the smooth, silky, and balanced style of the famous Hokkaido single malt in the finest detail.”

What more can be said, except that this 1991 vintage is equally impressive, showcasing even greater sensuality.

Description

Tasting Notes


Nose
: Rich and powerful. The peat is of rare concentration yet never overbearing. To illustrate this feat, it is enriched with fruity (blood orange), spicy (clove), floral (hyacinth), and peppery (Cayenne) notes. With aeration, the nose becomes increasingly medicinal (balm, camphor) and animalistic (bacon, smoked fish).

Palate : Full of life and indulgent. Peat dominates the initial taste, displaying notable spiciness and medicinal qualities. The mid-palate bursts with red (strawberry, raspberry) and black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry). Gradually, clove comes to the forefront, enveloped in cocoa and roasted coffee notes. The overall impression is one of indefinable charm and great sensuality.

Finish : Long and creamy. The peat retains its full presence, alternating between chocolate, licorice, fruit, floral, saline, and spicy notes, asserting its dominance. Yet, it exudes remarkable elegance. The aftertaste is spiritual (incense) and praline-like, favoring exotic fruits (passionfruit, mango), while thick smoke and bacon notes emerge from the empty glass.
