Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
일본 홋카이도 요이치 해안의 거친 바닷바람과 서늘한 기후가 요이치 1989의 결을 깊게 빚어낸다. 짙은 호박빛 너머로 짭조름한 미네랄과 잘 익은 자두, 다크 초콜릿의 향이 또렷이 드러난다. 20년 뉴 오크와 버번 배럴, 셰리 벗이 만든 진한 단맛과 가죽의 풍미가 두꺼운 질감으로 입을 채우고, 55도 알코올은 요이치 특유의 강건한 골격을 깊게 풀어낸다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
bizarrely, it’s rather the shiest among them three. A rather round peat, say young Caol Ila ex-rejuvenated barrel or something. I know, a shortcut. Whiffs of iodine, cough medicine, almonds, oysters… With water: no, rather a soft Talisker
restaurant Palate
sweet peat! Lou Reed could have written a song about it. Oranges and grapefruits, as sweets and as fresh juices, plus brine and green pepper, as well as a large teapot of lapsang souchong. With water: same. It’s one of the easiest peaters I’ve tried this year (we’re in 2017, am I not right?)
timer Finish
medium, easy, uncomplicated, perhaps a wee tad cardboardy? There is some salt(iness) but not much
