Yoichi Rum Wood Finish 2017, 46%
Price: ● Issue: Summer 2018 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Japanese Whisky
Sooty charcoal aromas with a sweet edge of mango and other tropical fruits mingle with coriander seed and cardamom. It tastes of ripe melon, pear, and mango, with pepper, aniseed, and a strong seam of smoky oak char. An extra burst of fruit in the finish, with sweet peat smoke. If you enjoyed the rum-finished expressions of Kilchoman or Bunnahabhain Moine, this one's for you. (3,500 bottles; sold as a set with Miyagikyo Rum Wood Finish 2017) €395/set
