Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈를 가까이 하면 잘 익은 건자두와 마른 미즈나라 오크의 향이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 야마자키 18년 싱글 몰트 재패니즈 위스키로, 셰리와 버번, 미즈나라 캐스크가 결합한 일본 위스키의 정수다. 팰럿은 43%의 알코올을 따라 진한 건과일과 부드러운 향나무 향, 마른 견과류가 명확하게 발전한다. 미즈나라 특유의 동양적 캐릭터가 단단한 구조감을 받쳐 준다. 피니시는 향나무와 마른 가죽이 깊게 머문다.

indeed, I like it rather better. Nutshell, less oak tannins, more bright fruits, both fresh and dried. There’s also more marzipan, coconut balls, then prickly pears, blood oranges, and just a nice box of Jaffa cakes.

it is a little oaky too, to be honest, but it’s still brighter than the 25, fresher, and simply nicer, in my book. Oranges, touches of tonic wine, caraway and cinnamon, a drop of Dutch genever (I owe you a very large genever session), and nice notes of mint-flavoured liquorice. Does not feel weakfish despite the strength, while the 25 used to
timer Finish
medium, rather on bitter oranges, quinine, and a wee bit of speculoos. Only the aftertaste is a little drying this time
