Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Dark mahogany with unmistakable ruby glints — deepest colour in standard Yoichi range. Legs fall very slowly, wide and full.
Nose
Bar's wine shelf leads: concentrated, oxidative PX and Oloroso — dark raisins, Medjool dates, Sicilian figs. Sweet Shop generous: dark chocolate, chocolate-covered orange peel, toffee. Smoke House peat present but muted, providing structure beneath rather than expression above. Plum become plum jam, apricot become candied. Furniture Maker leather deepens.
Palate
Sherry influence and direct-fired weight remarkable match — spirit strong enough to carry sherry without being overwhelmed. Dark fruit with authority: raisins, figs, dates. Dark chocolate and butterscotch toffee weave through. Oloroso walnuts in dry sherry. Smoke House peat surfaces briefly mid-palate — reminder this is still Yoichi. Fullest mouthfeel in range — thick, coating, almost chewable.
Finish
Long and sweet, darker than any other Yoichi finish. Bar's dried sherry characters hold longest. Dark chocolate closes with leather. Peat eventually surfaces as faint smoke-and-ash, quiet reminder of what lies beneath sherry glamour. Warm and generous; a cold-night, fireside expression.
