With its heavyweight aromas and thick creamy mouthfeel, this wonderful debut of the Nikka Discovery Series offers an unconventional glimpse into whisky making at Yoichi, and it’s a journey worth following. Golden syrup pancakes, citrus peel, vanilla, egg custard with nutmeg, and fresh barley aromas precede dense layers of fruit and cream on the palate, with nectarine, apricot, marzipan fruits, crystalized citrus, nippy pepper, caramel, vanilla, and a bright zesty finish.
