Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 일본 치치부 증류소 특유의 정밀한 흰꽃과 잘 익은 흰포도의 향이 가장 먼저 명확하게 두드러진다. 코슈 와인 캐스크에서 부여된 옅은 미네랄과 산뜻한 화이트 와인의 산미가 발전하며 62.5도의 캐스크 스트렝스가 단단한 구조감을 받친다. 팰럿은 잘 익은 흰복숭아와 옅은 꿀의 단맛이 입천장을 부드럽게 덮고 코슈 와인의 영향이 정연하게 드러난다. 피니시는 길고 후반에 마른 우드와 흰후추가 또렷이 깃들어 있다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
I couldn't recognise Koshu, but in any case, you can't say that this nose is very winey, although at such a degree, there isn't much that would come through anyway. Orange cake and white pepper, plus a bit of wood, let's say. With water: the balance is more fragile and changing than in the sumptuous and very coherent bourbon versions. A bit of cabbage, leek, tomato leaves, then clove, apple peel, fig leaves, fine lees... It's really not bad at all
restaurant Palate
well it's very good, but this time the winey side comes out a bit, with very light sulphurous touches, grapefruit peel, a few grape seeds... But the alcohol remains the boss at these degrees. So... With water: sweet-peppery. Grenadine syrup and black pepper, pink berries, allspice, a slight fern side
timer Finish
long, herbaceous, spicy. A peony and clafoutis side then, cherry liqueur, then sweet bread dough
