Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
산토리 야마자키 1998 싱글 캐스크가 셰리 버트에서 15년을 머금어 짙은 적갈색이 잔에 가라앉는다. 향에서는 검은 자두와 셰리 우드의 깊은 단맛, 가벼운 가죽, 옅은 향나무가 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 60도의 입안은 묵직하게 흘러 흑설탕과 호두, 다크 초콜릿, 정향의 매콤함이 차례로 풀린다. 야마자키 특유의 단정한 결이 깊고 우아한 여운으로 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
light coffee
air Nose
typical sherried Yamazaki. Prunes, black raisins, tamarind, incense, cedar wood, and a touch of beef gravy, very discreet. Some parsley, perhaps. With water: more of all that, but it tends to become even meatier. Meat loafs with gravy, roasted pine nuts, and raisins
restaurant Palate
oh my god this is heavy and strong! Totally huge, almost out of all proportion. Some kind of meaty rum, perhaps. Or rather a blend of super-strong armagnac and super-strong tropics-aged Port Mourant. Or something like that. Not for the fainthearted ;-). With water: perfect leathery and prune-y meatiness. Pipe tobacco juice
timer Finish
long, with many more herbs. Thyme, rosemary, sage… and something that I enjoy mucho, and that’s not often to be found in whisky, ramson! Much more chocolate in the aftertaste
