Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Deep amber with unmistakable mahogany tones at the rim — richness speaking to fifteen cold Hokkaido winters. Legs slow, broad, and slightly oily.
Nose
Yoichi house style at equilibrium. Furniture Maker takes ownership: polished oak, leather, furniture wax. Smoke House peat deeply integrated — structural, like oak beams in an old building. Dark plum, Morello cherry, kirsch liqueur. Sweet Shop dark chocolate truffle dusted with cocoa powder. Library announces clearly — old parchment, leather-bound volumes, oak-panelled room.
Palate
Authoritative and deep. Direct-fired richness at maximum integration. Sweet Shop and Smoke House perform their greatest duet — dark chocolate and wood smoke in near-perfect proportion. Morello cherry, fig, dark plum in waves. Walnut, toasted hazelnut. Walk to Lighthouse mineral salinity constant undercurrent. Full, round, slightly coating body.
Finish
Long and complex with distinct phases. Phase one: dark chocolate and embers fade together. Phase two: cedar and oak tannin dry the palate gently. Phase three: Walk to Lighthouse mineral chalk emerges cool and clean. Phase four: Tobacco Shop closes — cigar box, cedar shavings. A finish designed for contemplation.
