Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 1989 빈티지 요이치가 23년 리차드 호그스헤드에서 보낸 시간이 만든 옅은 훈제와 잘 익은 자두, 따뜻한 향신료가 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 팰럿에서는 다크 초콜릿과 흑설탕, 약한 페놀이 60도의 캐스크 스트렝스 위에서 강하게 발전한다. 홋카이도의 청량한 풍토가 노트에 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 싱글 캐스크 웨어하우스 15가 보여주는 요이치 특유의 강건한 캐릭터다. 피니시는 훈제와 옅은 가죽이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
what's striking at first nosing is this very peculiar combination of cigarette tobacco (say Camels) with furniture polish and tinned peaches. And then, there's more vanilla and wood smoke as well as a little sandalwood and white pepper. All this is very compact and tight! With water: it's the wood that comes out, sawdust, vanillin, mashed potatoes... A few farmy/earthy aromas too, a little vetiver and mint, antiseptic, oranges... While the peat remains pretty discreet
restaurant Palate
powerful, a little bitter perhaps, with a lot of chlorophyll, chewed wood, greens, heavy tea and bitter oranges. All this is very powerful, so I believe water's more than needed. With water: everything got bigger, including the peat. Also seasoned pineapples, Tai style (I imagine). Red Tai sauce, strong tea, liquorice, spiced maple syrup, concentrated milk... It's really spectacular
timer Finish
very long, tighter again, rather on salted butter caramel. The peat's more discreet again
