Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코끝에 가져가면 일본 치치부 증류소가 만든 어린 스피릿의 활기찬 향이 가장 먼저 인사한다. 7년을 보낸 버번 배럴의 바닐라와 코코넛 슬리버가 또렷이 떠오른다. 한 모금을 머금으면 64.7 도수가 만든 강한 무게가 혀를 가득 채운다. 사이다 사과와 마른 풀, 옅은 꿀이 차례로 따라온다. 삼킨 뒤에는 버번 우드의 어린 스파이스가 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
goodness me, peat really does cling to any distillate like misfortune to the lower clergy of Brittany. But here, it remains wonderfully assertive, adding to the usual trio of chalk, apple, and barley with a proper dose of smoke and even a few maritime notes. With water: astonishing stuff. How much peated Chichibu was left in that cask? Fifty litres? The waves of beechwood-smoked salmon are utterly remarkable
restaurant Palate
zzzzeooom! That’s the sound of a blade cleaving the humble taster clean in half, to the precise millimetre. Lemon peel, ashes, chalk, lemon again, and cardamom. With water: well, the peat isn’t going anywhere, but that’s hardly a complaint. Think lemon in the fireplace
timer Finish
long, pure, slightly oily (pistachio oil) and then very lemony. The ash lingers on
