Nikka Yoichi Single Malt
$91.99
The Yoichi Single Malt is a peated Single Malt Whisky made at Yoichi Distillery in Hokkaido, Japan.
Yoichi was the second distillery in Japan built specifically for making Single Malt Whisky. It was founded in 1934 by Masataka Taketsuru after he finished working with Shinjiro Torii at Yamazaki Distillery. Founding Yoichi Distillery was the first step towards making Nikka the whisky company it is today.
Producer Description
"This is a single malt from the Yoichi distillery, Nikka's first distillery built in 1934. The founder Masataka Taketsuru chose Yoichi in Hokkaido because of the similar environmental conditions to Scotland, where he learned whisky making. Yoichi single malt has 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."
Talisker Port Ruighe
$119.99
Bottled at 45.8% from whisky matured in ex-Bourbon barrels and finished in Ruby Port casks.
Producer Tasting Note
Nose: Instant, very well balanced, and sweet, yet not cloying; overall, rather like the sweet smokiness of a fading wood fire with the fruity richness of ripe plums.
Palate: Sublime, smoky and savoury: spicy pepper rapidly grows into peatiness, as a creamy smokiness mingles with spice and dark fruits.
Finish: Long, memorable, and mouth-filling, leaving on the tongue an appealing and intense cocoa-rich drying smokiness.
Distiller's Description: "Double matured in port casks, this malt is a toast to the Scottish traders who braved the high seas and were instrumental in the foundation of the port wine trade. Port Ruighe, pronounced ‘Portree’ is the Gaelic spelling of the once-bustling trading port on Skye. The port finish combines Talisker’ s powerful maritime character with succulent sweet notes of rich berry fruits for a superb taste experience."

Fresh lemon and blood orange lead the way, with classic juniper and coriander close behind. Then the unmistakeable texture of our grain base spirit shines through the middle palate.
