余市 Yoichi 二十年陳我之前介紹過了, 之前喝的兩個批次味道非常相近, 且喝喝看這一款我數年前買下近日才喝的批次又是怎麼樣。

Yoichi 余市 20 years, 700 ml, 52%

氣味: 檀木，鹹肉，堅果，朱古力醬，多士，肉桂，嘉應子
口味: 香燻，鹹肉，咖啡，煙葉，黑糖，肉桂
餘蘊: 中等長度，焦木，黑朱古力
結論: 很濃郁的氣味，有近似檀木的香燻，鹹鹹的肉香，還有甜中帶甘的朱古力，多士的帶焦烘焙，點點玉桂加添風味。酒體結實，還是木材燻的鹹肉，甘苦的咖啡，香醇的煙葉，甘甜的黑糖，未後香料點綴。餘蘊稍焦苦，但不過火。氣味香濃層次表現極佳，酒體結構佳，深厚豐富，餘蘊亦耐嚼，一等一的正斗好酒。這版本喝起來很不同，又是我的個人問題嗎?

English Version of Tasting Note

I had tasted two different batches of Yoichi 20 years old and introduced previously. Their portfolios are very similar. Let’s taste this bottle which was bought in few years ago.

Yoichi 20 years, 700 ml, 52%

Nose: Sandalwood, ham, nut, chocolate cream, toast, preserved plum, cinnamon
Palate: fragrance oil, ham, coffee, tobacco, raw sugar, cinnamon
Aftertaste: Medium length, roasted wood, dark chocolate
Conclusion: Rich on nose, some sandalwood alike aroma, salty ham, bitter yet sweet chocolate, toasted smell, decorated by cinnamon. Solid body, wood smoked ham, bitter coffee, spicy tobacco, sweet raw sugar, seasoned by a bit of spicy at the end. Toasted and bitter aftertaste but not overly. Layered aroma, firm body with good structure, solid and rich, chewing aftertaste, an excellent whisky.
