air Nose
oh very lovely, there are ‘strong ideas’ of Bowmore in this one, which is rather un-Yamazaki in my book. But nothing to complain about, this is almost a Tempest from Japan, plus quite a few delicate touches of aromatic herbs. Would I dare quoting wasabi? And yet, I do find a little wasabi. And parsley. Other than that, we have seawater, kippers, oysters with a drop of Tabasco, lemons, grapefruits, ashes… With water: oh, it became much more medicinal! Band-Aid, more eucalyptus, old embrocations, smoking beedies, old pu-erh tea, mushrooms… I utterly love that
restaurant Palate
exceptional. Smoke and green spices in a unusual combination that would involve caraway, green curry, then pink grapefruits and tangerines, oysters again, smoke of course… With water: how do you say Anti-Maltoporn Brigade in Japanese? I love these whiskies when they’re both focussed and complex
timer Finish
long, zesty, yet fat, yet tart, yet full… I guess you got it
