Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
야마자키 25년이 미즈나라 캐스크에서 보낸 시간이 빛나는 짙은 호박빛을 잔에 또렷이 깃들게 한다. 코끝에는 미즈나라 특유의 백단향과 오리엔탈 향신료, 농축된 잘 익은 자두가 먼저 올라온다. 한 모금에는 빽빽한 단맛과 백향, 가벼운 우드 노트가 미끄러지듯 흐른다. 48도라는 절제된 도수가 산토리 위스키의 우아한 균형을 끝까지 받치며 일본 위스키 특유의 길게 이어지는 여운을 남긴다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale amber
air Nose
close to the first 1986 in style but a little more cooked or rather stewed, as if there was a little sherry action in this one. It’s a little closer to an old Sauternes in fact, with faint muscatty touches as well as a little more mint. Superb nose for sure, extremely appealing. Yes, sexy. With water: even more complexity, with some pipe tobacco this time, mushrooms, honey, maybe a little saltpetre… Perfect!
restaurant Palate
luscious, as they say. Rich, candied, citrusy, nervous, spicy, herbal… It’s a very ‘wide’ profile. The spicy oakiness is also a tad more obvious than in the 1986s, with more cinnamon, but all good. With water: changes quite a lot, becoming unexpectedly medicinal. Quite some cough syrup in this one, mint and liquorice…
timer Finish
long, reminding me of some honeydew. Pine sap and white pepper the aftertaste
