Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
호그스헤드에서 12년을 거친 시간이 1994 야마자키의 결을 일본 위스키 특유의 정갈한 결로 정리해준다. 노즈에는 잘 익은 사과와 흰 꽃, 옅은 바닐라가 가장 먼저 올라오고 그 뒤로 미즈나라를 떠올리게 하는 옅은 향나무 톤이 따라붙는다. 입에서는 캐러멜라이즈된 배와 마른 꿀, 우드 스파이스가 부드러운 질감으로 흐르고 56도의 알코올이 잘 정돈된 균형을 만든다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
partly similar to its ‘bro’ but more phenolic, resinous, smoky (pinewood) and herbal (patchouli, hashish). Quite spectacular, even at 62% ABV. With water: a tad less resinous but also a tad peatier. Greens, shoe polish, mushrooms (do you know blue foot or wood blewit? They smell exactly like this malt.) Big stuff
restaurant Palate
almost the same whisky as its sister cask, only fruitier and more flavourful. Unusual notes of lychee liqueur and rose jelly. With water: again, close to the NBA’s cask but with an extra-dimension, brought by these very fruity notes (lychees and such) that I never found in any Scotch – I mean, to this extend. Spectacular whisky
timer Finish
long, on a very unusual lychee/peat combo
