Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
wonderfully full of exotic wood spices, resins, camphor, pine needles, tiger balm and hessian cloth. Thick and highly scented whisky that, given a little time, also starts to reveal a more mentholic side with dried mint and eucalyptus oils, also lemon verbena, wintergreen and sandalwood. Love this superbly aromatic and densely populated nose. With water: softens to reveal green tea with honey and lemon, yuzu, sweet rice wine and white miso. Seems to become more and more ‘Japanese’ which is just great
restaurant Palate
very syrupy on arrival in the mouth, textural whisky chock full of spearmint, pine resins, camphor, lime zest, curry leaf and more sandalwood and gorse flower impressions. A lovely balance of spicy and sweet. With water: lemon balm, sweetened olive oil, ginger cordial and more menthol qualities
timer Finish
long, herbal, nicely umami with quite a bit of firm wood resin and lingering honey and lemon notes
