Made from a blend of malt whisky (unpeated and peated at 50 PPM) and grain whiskies (corn and wheat), Goldorak Legacy combines the finesse of Single Malt Hinotori with the roundness of Blended.
Nose: Complex, with notes of toast, dry peat and twigs. On aeration, the peat becomes more intense, almost animal-like. Exotic fruits (passion fruit, mango) and fresh figs add substance and verve to the aromatic palette.
Mouth: Dynamic, exotic, honeyed (lime blossom) and floral (hyacinth). The mid-palate is deeply rooted (ginseng, gentian), highlighting an extremely saline and refreshing minerality.
Finish: Long and balanced. Peat with chocolate, vanilla and spicy (saffron) accents takes center stage. Intensely, it invites us to savor a delicious plain pound cake. Scents of Havana, wildflowers and black licorice.
This unaged version was released in 2016 as a permanent product that truly captures the authentic style of Yoichi malts, when all age indications were removed. A blend of different malt whiskies, this bottling expresses a delicate balance of peaty, smoky and fruity aromas.
Nose: Subtle aromas of ripe fruit and vanilla emerge delicately. Mouth: On the palate, notes of toasted oak, caramel and spices blend harmoniously. Finish: The finish is long and warm, giving way to notes of dried fruit and honey.
