The Yoichi Peaty & Salty is only available for purchase from the distillery in Hokkaido. The Yoichi distillery exclusive series takes a new approach to NAS single malts, by clearly stating the expected notes and flavors on the label. Nikka's Miyagikyo distillery has done the same with their own range of distillery exclusives.

Remarkable for what it is. A bit medicinal on the nose. First taste is that classic Yoichi vanilla sweetness, but it immediately fades to a wonderfully Peaty, Briney glow. Body is a bit thin, due to the lack of an age statement, but the way it lingers in your mouth is the stuff Islay dreams are made of.
Light peat on the nose. Smooth and sweet at first, the peat and smoke in the middle, and finishes with brine and a salty aftertaste. Body is quite thin but the taste packs a punch, good for those who don’t like the peaty normally. Really nice, extremely expensive.
Nosing: sweet aromatic barbecue, very pleasant to the nose. Flavour: young and spiciness hits you in the front, saltiness is distinct and taste like swallowing of harsh pile of salt Finish: smooth smokiness - light
This really is a fantastic whisky. Remarkably balanced considering its 55% ABV. spicy, slightly sweet and with a long crisp finish.
Amazing. It’s peaty and salty, but also sweet and rich. Good with ice ball or a little water. 93
Definitely feel the peat in the nose and after taste. The salt leaves me feeling a little dry.
