Nikka Yoichi Bourbon Wood Finish 2018

Nikka Yoichi Bourbon Wood Finish 2018, NAS, 46 %

Single malt releases from Nikka are far between these days. So I am happy to review limited editions like the Nikka Yoichi Bourbon Wood Finish 2018. Unfortunately this one is also without an age statement, like most releases from that corner of the whisky world now. This particular release was limited to 2934 bottles.

You can buy the Nikka Yoichi Bourbon Wood Finish 2018 in Norway at NOK 2149 (1390301).

Nose: Soft and refined on the nose. Toasted oak and warm caramel sauce. Warm apples with sugar glazing. Hints of tropical fruits and coconut.

Taste: Medium body. Sugary sweetness, with tropical fruits and some camphor. Mild vanilla and oaky sweetness.

Finish: Medium long finish. Camphor again. Vanilla, red berries, and vanilla ice cream.

Comment: Delightful.
