Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
배럴에서 15년을 보낸 1992년 빈티지 야마자키의 시간이 오너스 캐스크 보틀링으로 봉인되었다. 향은 일본 산악 증류소 특유의 청량한 침엽수와 잘 익은 배, 바닐라 크림이 또렷이 풀려나고 61%의 캐스크 스트렝스가 입에서 시트러스 껍질과 보리당, 옅은 향신료의 결을 시원하게 끌어올린다. 깨끗한 버번 배럴 1통의 결이 단정하게 비친다. 잔에는 옅은 황금빛이 머물고 여운은 일본 오크의 향취로 곱게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale mahogany
air Nose
this is not whisky, it’s plain and pure sherry, a great, dry sherry (amontillado?). So bags of walnuts, dried mushrooms and touches of curry powder, then more chocolate, coffee and tobacco, with once again a ‘woody’ smokiness. Quite extreme in a certain way and complex at the same time, no mean achievement! With water: more tobacco, much more tobacco (cigars!) Also some old balsamico, a little soy sauce and something faintly roasted. Botrytis?
restaurant Palate
extremely… err, extreme. Hyper-concentrated, very spicy (the experience is not unlike chewing a cigar), infused… Yet kind of chiselled and certainly not ‘fattish’ like other sherry monsters can be. Bitter oranges start to dominate the whole after a few seconds. With water: I feel more oak, as if it was from some kind of sherry-treated new butt. Some red berries coming out as well, raspberries…
timer Finish
long, dry/spicy and fruity at the same time. A slightly strange but wonderful kind of balance
