Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 2010년 치치부가 리필 호그스헤드에서 7년의 짧은 숙성을 거치며 도달한 잘 익은 멜론, 옅은 바닐라, 보리 가루의 향이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 팰럿은 59.6도의 캐스크 스트렝스에서 일본 위스키 특유의 정제된 캐릭터가 단단하게 잡혀 있다. 리필 호그스헤드의 절제된 오크와 보리의 단맛이 명확하게 발전하며 구조감이 또렷하다. 어린 숙성이지만 치치부의 응축된 본성이 7년이라는 시간을 무색하게 만든다. 피니시는 길고 옅은 멜론과 바닐라가 입천장에 깊게 머문다.

air Nose
oh! But what’s this? Sweet raisins, sultanas, fig jam, mint leaf, pear syrup, hessian, herbal teas, wild strawberry, a sliver of pecan pie and some bitter chocolate! A superb nose. Lush, old school sherry richness and all these wee notes popping out all over the place. Add glace cherries, fruit loaf and sweet liquorice! With water: develops in a sort of ‘new world’ direction, that is to say: lots of breads, cereals, light spices and toasted seed notes. Some lemon peel too. Pure, clean and very lovely. I feel like water is effectively brushing away the sherry and bringing out the distillate - not unlike the helicopter-induced speed-excavation of the velociraptor skeleton at the beginning of Jurassic Park (we’ll watch it one day Serge, I promise!)
restaurant Palate
mocha, chilli infused hot chocolate, sweet cherry beer, star anise, limoncello, brown bread and lime cordial. Superb! With water: a very direct spicy/bready mix. Some residual raisins and sultanas, damp leaves, espresso and general red-tinged fruitiness
timer Finish
long, bready, getting rather meaty as well with notes of Bovril, game and then instant coffee and Brazil nuts. Linger, leather and earthy
