Description

This 15 Year old distillation is a testament to the vision of Masataka Taketsuru who founded the Yoichi distillery in 1934. The nose is gentle and creamy with light fruits and a little nutty development. The palate is quite sweet with notes of subdued peat, winter spice and a nutty note. The finish is long and beautifully bittersweet.

This bottle comes packaged with an original box, making for a special gift.
