Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
버번과 뉴 오크, 셰리 배럴이 20년에 걸쳐 켜켜이 새긴 복잡한 흔적이 가장 먼저 코를 사로잡는다. 일본 홋카이도 Yoichi 증류소가 자체 병입한 52도의 싱글 몰트로 2012년 시장에 나온 보틀이다. 향에서는 짙은 피트 스모크와 다크 베리, 묵직한 오크가 또렷이 드러난다. 입안에서는 그을린 보리와 흑설탕, 동양 향신료가 두꺼운 질감으로 흐른다. 깊은 황금빛 잔의 끝에는 일본 북쪽 해안의 짠 바닷바람과 셰리의 단맛이 길게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
wow, extremely rich, camphory, deeply herbal and exotic, with notes of sawn teak wood, a family pack of macadamia nuts, some diesel oil, bandages, crème brulée… How unusual and complex indeed! I think bottle aging did it much good and I'll probably have to raise my score. With a drop of water: many fresh nuts, a touch of wax, and this little tarriness that's often made me think of Ardbeg
restaurant Palate
flabbergasting richness yet with a lot of elegance, always around teak and other wood oils, bananas and papayas, tobacco, overripe apples and pears, a drop of varnish once again, vin jaune, walnuts, camphor, tar (touches)… With water: absolutely perfect and, I'll say it again, rather a little Ardbeggian. We're talking 1970s Ardbeg, naturally
timer Finish
rather long, with stunning honeys mixed with eucalyptus honey and once again, a little tar
