Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
짙은 황금빛이 잔 안에 또렷이 비친다. 1988년 일본 요이치 증류소에서 증류해 10년을 보낸 이 닛카 싱글 캐스크는 차가운 북녘 바닷가의 기운을 닮아 옅은 훈연과 잘 익은 사과, 흙내가 어우러진다. 62.2도의 한 모금은 토피와 후추, 짭조름한 미네랄이 두꺼운 질감으로 흐르며 강렬한 도수의 힘이 또렷하다. 여운은 마른 연기와 향신료로 길고 강하게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
reddish amber
air Nose
this one's very intriguing, because it's meant to be fresh oak and yet one can find peonies, or raisins in this nose, which suggests some sherry's been involved. Hard to say... Having said that, it's a very tight one again, this time more on figs and toffee plus nutmeg, then more vanilla and coconut, bourbon-style. Also a growing feeling of spearmint drops. A full pack! With water: rye! And liquorice, violet sweets, star anise, pastis, leather, earth
restaurant Palate
wham! Tastes like strong bourbon to me, but I'm sure water will help. Not that there's anything wrong with bourbon, of course. With water: wood works. Sandal wood, cedar wood, cinnamon, then a few ashes (cigar ashes) and plain tobacco. You may add half a kumquat
timer Finish
very long, spicier and peatier, although it's no peat monster. Roots, pu-ehr tea, earth, ginger, butterscotch and salted caramel
