Nikka Yoichi 15 Year Old

“Deep and rich with a distinct oiliness,... plenty of smoke in the mix as well, and a little hint of black olives in brine with ripe apples lurking behind. A layered whisky; coal-like, oily, and richly fruited with a distinct saltiness on the sides, ably demonstrating that Japan has almost as much variety on offer as scotch.” 95pts Dave Broom, Malt Advocate
