Like chewing a penny toffee as you stand by the fish smoking hut at the harbour. A wonderfully waxy mouthfeel, reminds you of lanolin and fresh cracked walnuts.

Tar, lovley ash and a very pleasing medicinal note, with seaweed throughout. Rain-wet slate on the palate, with more tar and, of course, peatsmoke. The finish is a pleasant tingling of black pepper and spice.

Pear Drops and tinned pineapple at first pour, but this mellows to barley water, light fruit and hints of iodine. Smoked almonds. On the palate nutty flavours and oily mouthfeel, balanced by light herbacious notes and sappy oak spice. The warmth of embers in a lengthy finish.

Coastal and medicinal tones on the nose, with cracked black pepper, herbacious elements of tobacco and black tea, with wafts of smoke throughout. The first thing to strike you on the palate is the sweet sherry, then tar, hints of chilli flakes and enduring chimney smoke.

Floral with lots of sweet vanilla and lovely, ripe melon on the nose. The body carries more weight than you expect, the floral notes get more herbal and heathery, the vanilla gains a honeyed, pastry edge.

Distillery note@ Yoichi Single Malt is described as bold and strong. Pleasant peaty notes and smokiness originating from the traditional direct coal-fired distillation as well as a briny hint delivered by the sea breeze during the aging process.

A rocky seashore, whispers of bonfire smoke, baked pears, hint of cloves. A lucious but light oiliness to the mouthfeel, with barley notes, seaweed and gentle spice.

Iced cinnamon bun, baked apples, prunes on the nose. A sweet and spicy malt with a chocolate edge.
