Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 천천히 돌리면 일본 야마자키의 오너스 캐스크가 밝은 금빛을 잔 벽에 드리운다. 코끝으로 가져가면 배럴이 길러낸 잘 익은 복숭아와 백단향, 옅은 꿀 향이 정갈하게 올라온다. 한 모금을 머금으면 57도의 힘이 바닐라와 잘 익은 과일, 은은한 선향으로 퍼지고 14년 숙성이 다듬은 정제된 질감이 혀를 감싼다. 입안에서 천천히 굴리면 복숭아 통조림과 가벼운 향나무의 풍미가 한층 또렷하게 살아난다. 천천히 삼키면 일본 위스키 특유의 맑은 과일과 가벼운 나무 향이 어우러진 끝맛이 깔끔하게 이어진다.
AITasting 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?
