Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
한유 위스키를 담았던 호그스헤드에서 5년이라는 짧지만 응축된 시간을 보낸 결과가 가장 먼저 코를 사로잡는다. 사라진 한유의 흔적이 치치부의 어린 원액에 더해진 보기 드문 캐스크답게 향에서는 옅은 매실과 잘 익은 모과, 향긋한 향나무가 일어나고 입에서는 흰 후추와 옅은 흑설탕, 잘 익은 배가 빽빽한 단맛으로 흐른다. 57.4도가 일본 사이타마의 깊은 숲을 옅게 떠오르게 한다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
porridge, mashed potatoes (Robuchon style, 50% potatoes, 50% butter – und Muskat Nuss, Herr Müller!) then spicy oranges and spicy hard bread, Sweden-style. In short, this is very bready, which we like a lot, naturally. We’ll do some ‘no wine in my whisky’ T-shirts one day. With water: oh well done! These oaks and this distillate are rather doing it in a Travolta/Newton-John way. As I sometimes say, I hate it that I’m loving this
restaurant Palate
makes you laugh, for the better. Caraway, ginger cake, yuzu and kumquat, corn bread, a touch of apricot jam, a hint of soft sweet curry. Were these barriques ex-Sauternes? With water: no, careful, do not add too much H2O or it’ll get too spicy
timer Finish
long, spicy and yet quite round and mellow, bizarrely
