Tasting notes：

Colour: Deep gold

Nose: The nose of this whisky offers a moderate intensity. It is notably malty, accompanied by gentle fruity aromas of citrus, peach, and hints of apricot and tropical fruits. There are also delicate traces of wood, reminiscent of sandalwood and cedar. In the background, there are faint whispers of a far-off smoke.

Palate: This Yoichi 10 has a slightly thin mouthfeel. The initial taste is notably bitter and dominated by a strong woody flavour that intensifies after a few seconds. Along with this, there are distinct notes of coal smoke and hints of citrus. The taste of raw barley is also present, along with the taste of cracked black pepper and white asparagus. A fleeting sweetness briefly appears upon a second sip but quickly dissipates, giving way to more notes of pepper, sandalwood, and a touch of chili pepper.

Finish: Persistent presence of wood and raw malt flavours accompanied by the spicy notes of cracked pepper. The finish is medium in length, leaving a warm sensation that lingers for a while.
