Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Glowing old gold with warm amber tones — Moscatel added warmth without full sherry darkness. Honeyed, gemstone quality — pale topaz deepening to amber.
Nose
Most overtly wine-like and floral Yoichi. Florist arrives with jasmine-and-orange-blossom character unlike any other expression — delicate, perfumed. White grape, melon, lychee from vine fruit section. Heather honey, clover honey, orange blossom honey. Light Muscat note. Smoke House peat softened and perfumed by Moscatel, turning into incense smoke. Bakery: marzipan, lemon custard tart.
Palate
Opens in unexpected elegance. Florist floral bridges to white fruit — white grape, fresh melon, lychee. Honey sits in centre — heather, clover, orange blossom. Direct-fired weight operates as structural column beneath floral-fruit character. Smoke House peat arrives mid-palate as incense — aromatic, harmonious with sweet Moscatel. Walk to Lighthouse salinity grounds the sweetness.
Finish
Medium, floral and honeyed. Florist's jasmine and orange blossom hold longest. Heather honey lingers. Smoke House peat briefly at end like incense in an open room. Walk to Lighthouse closes with chalk and mineral. Most approachable, unexpected, gentle Yoichi: a dessert dram that still faintly smells of the sea.
