Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
일본 홋카이도 요이치 만의 매서운 동해바람과 짠 안개가 닛카 요이치 1987 빈티지의 19년 숙성에 짭조름한 결을 새겨 넣었다. 잔에는 진한 황금빛이 잠겨 있고 노즈에는 그을린 토탄, 짠 캐러멜, 익은 사과의 향이 또렷이 깃든다. 입에 들어오면 63도의 강한 알코올과 함께 훈제 미소, 다크 토피, 짠 미네랄의 풍미가 묵직하게 입을 채운다. 여운은 요이치 특유의 짠 토탄과 동해 바람으로 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
really straighter, more vivid and more ‘mineral’ peat smoke. The driest and the most austere of all, but maybe that’s because of the very high strength, so let’s add water right away. With water: big fruits and big peat, an excellent combo, well above the 1986 and 1987s in my opinion. Superb waxiness and leafiness, notes of marzipan-filled dates, fresh putty, macadamia oil, limejuice… A great nose no doubt
restaurant Palate
big very punchy and very similar too its siblings. Maybe a tad grassier and bitterer but once again, water is obligatory. With water: oh yes, the best so far, no doubt. Straight ‘coastal’ peat, fresh nuts (almonds, walnuts), lemon zests, coriander, cardamom, sage, green pepper, heart of palm… Totally excellent
timer Finish
long, a tad sweeter and rounder now. A little mind in the aftertaste
