Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Deep gold shading to old amber — rum cask added warmth without sherry darkness. Honeyed, tropical luminosity.
Nose
Most adventurous geographic journey: Hokkaido maritime peated spirit in rum casks, bridging Japan and Caribbean. Tropical section opens: ripe banana, mango, pineapple. Sweet Shop syrup: molasses, brown sugar, dark rum sweetness. Bakery: banana bread, rum-soaked panettone. Smoke House peat behind the tropical wave: phenolic smokiness meeting sugarcane sweetness. Walk to Lighthouse salt air as cleansing note.
Palate
Direct-fired Yoichi weight perfect vehicle for rum cask — enough backbone to absorb assertive cask. Banana, mango, pineapple ride the Yoichi oil. Molasses and brown sugar ground the sweetness. Smoke House peat mid-palate: extraordinary collision — smoke and tropical fruit simultaneously, somehow coherent. Cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice. Walk to Lighthouse salt on back of tongue.
Finish
Long and evolving. Tropical fruit begins: banana, mango. Molasses and brown sugar hold sweetness. Smoke House gradually overtakes: smoke and ash emerging as tropical fades. Walk to Lighthouse closes with salt and chalk. Two-act finish: tropical richness followed by maritime smoke.
