Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 야마자키 1979의 23년 미즈나라 캐스크가 그려낸 일본 특유의 향나무와 백단, 가벼운 정향 향이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 시간이 지나면 코코넛과 잘 익은 망고가 발전한다. 팰럿에서는 56도의 강도가 짙은 질감으로 흐르며 진한 꿀, 마른 살구, 백단 향이 명확하게 드러난다. 피니시는 매우 길게 이어지며 미즈나라 특유의 인센스와 흰 후추로 마무리된다. 일본 빈티지의 구조감이 단단한 보틀링이다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
a rather beautiful attack on the nose, compact as often with ‘crafted’ Yamazakis but with very distinct notes of ginger and soft curry added to a rather waxy and oily character (paraffin, linseed oil, olive oil.) With water: it got much more vegetal and grassy, which is a little curious I must say. Whiffs of peat arising. No sweetness/fruitiness
restaurant Palate
hugely concentrated but not thick, which is quite an achievement. Loads of spices, crystallised oranges, ginger, cardamom and pepper. A lot of wood but it’s great wood, I must say (spices.) With water: rounder of course, and more ‘oriental’ as well. Turkish delights, lychees like we found in other versions, orange squash, mint flavoured tea. Excellent now
timer Finish
rather long and a tad more resinous
