Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Bright, clear gold with warm amber heart — lighter than Sherry & Sweet with honeyed luminosity suggesting American oak. Legs form cleanly.
Nose
American oak turns Yoichi in a surprising direction. Furniture Maker opens with new oak, fresh cedar, distinctive coconut shavings of American white oak. Finest vanilla pod — sweet, clean, precise. Bakery contributes vanilla custard, shortbread. Smoke House peat quietest here — background haze. Cereal grain note prominent: clean American-style sweetness of corn and light malt.
Palate
Different Yoichi: lighter, rounder. Furniture Maker's American oak vanilla anchors — vanilla pod, woody sweetness. Bakery: vanilla custard, coconut cream, cream soda. Grain sweetness — corn, light malt, toasted coconut. Smoke House peat surfaces as thinnest thread of wood smoke. Direct-fired weight present but in lighter shades. Cinnamon and light vanilla close.
Finish
Clean, medium length. Furniture Maker oak and vanilla maturation dominate. Cedar and sandalwood dry gently. Bakery vanilla custard holds mid-finish. Faint Smoke House whisper at the very end — ash and distant smoke. Lighter, more immediate; built for session drinking.
