Tasting Notes

Colour

full gold

air Nose

this is becoming embarrassing, as it seems that we’ve got another wonder on our tasting table. No peat this time, rather a full vanilla-ed profile, but it’s not dull modern vanilla at all, it’s vanilla like in some genuine, natural vanilla from, say Madagascar (oh whatever.) Behind the vanilla, rather herbs, camphor, menthol, eucalyptus and aniseed. Nothing too bad… With water: no real further development. Maybe more herbalness? Not too sure, there’s this faint soapiness that can come from newish oak… (no saponification, that wouldn’t go away.)

restaurant Palate

Japanese modernity at its best. Perfect vanilla (again!), marshmallows, mint, honey and yellow plums. It’s not complex, it’s even very simple when unreduced, but it’s perfect. Bauhaus whisky (c’mon, S.!) With water: water works this time. More fresh fruits, more marshmallows

timer Finish

quite long but a little sugary, perhaps. I’m splitting hairs again, it’s a great… how do you say dram in Japanese?
