Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈 첫인상은 1994년 빈티지 야마자키 특유의 흰꽃과 옅은 일본 미즈나라의 산뜻한 향나무가 명확하게 주도한다. 13년 숙성된 호그스헤드의 영향이 잘 익은 흰복숭아와 옅은 백단향의 구조로 발전하며 60도의 캐스크 스트렝스가 단단하다. 팰럿은 잘 익은 황도와 옅은 꿀의 단맛이 입천장을 부드럽게 덮고 정밀한 일본 위스키 특유의 구조감이 정연하게 드러난다. 피니시는 길고 후반에 향나무와 옅은 흰후추가 또렷이 깃들어 있다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark reddish amber
air Nose
this one is a very vinous version, very grapey but certainly not unpleasant, quite the opposite. Very nice whiffs of date liqueur (or some kind of arak) and ultra-big notes of fruitcake. Tons of fruitcake. It’s also a little gamey… Also whiffs of patchouli after a few minutes. With water: typical development on balsamic vinegar and cured ham, very very nice
restaurant Palate
ah yes, this is something! Sure it’s too strong but it seems that it’s all balanced yet rich, on many, many red berries and sweet/soft spices. This should be a very good one once water’s been added. With water: ah yes, this one is quite perfect, not too ‘sherry-only’, rich, toasted and spicy. Notes of American oak, ginger, nutmeg, a little cinnamon
timer Finish
long, clean, spicy. Some curry and ginger, orange marmalade
