Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
셰리 캐스크에서 25년을 보낸 야마자키의 시간이 잔 안에서 깊게 풀려난다. 교토 인근 산자락에서 자란 야마자키 원액이 셰리 캐스크와 만난 결과답게 향에서는 무화과와 옅은 향나무, 오래된 가죽이 차례로 일어나고 입에서는 흑설탕과 잘 익은 자두, 향긋한 정향이 묵직하게 입을 채운다. 43도라는 도수가 25년 세월에 다듬어진 둥글고 깊은 질감을 잘 살리며 마무리가 길다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
coffee
air Nose
ah? No, it’s not that sherried. I mean, it’s ridden with raisins and dried figs and many jams and several chutneys, but the relatively low strength seems to have kept it rather fresh and even kind of easy. But that’s just the nose. Lovely touches of cigarette tobacco and flowers in the background (iris, dandelions), then more soy sauce, walnut wine, old rancio and all that. Certainly more delicate than earlier batches – as far as I can remember
restaurant Palate
a feeling of old Demerara rum at first sips, then a growing feeling of raw cinnamon, probably from the oak. More walnuts as well and then a dozen wheelbarrows of dark chocolate. Liquorice again, even some tar, and more and more strong coffee, Italian ristretto style. Very heavy, I’m wondering what would have happened at cask strength
timer Finish
long, a notch grapy perhaps
