Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 하쿠슈 특유의 청량한 풀 향과 가벼운 훈연 노트가 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 산토리가 2018년에 18년산 48도로 병입한 이 보틀링은 일본 알프스 산자락의 청정한 환경에서 익은 위스키 특유의 결이 또렷이 발현된다. 팰럿에서는 잘 익은 배, 가벼운 박하, 흰 후추가 차례로 발전한다. 피니시는 미세한 훈연과 마른 풀의 잔향이 단정하게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
it’s old Laphroaig. One cannot help but think of the old 30-year-old, which is fitting since Suntory now owns Laphroaig. Sublime camphor, bandages, embrocations, menthol and eucalyptus inhalations (some whiskies do this even better than eucalyptus oil, seriously) … In short, all those medicinal things we adore in old Laphroaig that aren’t just about the peat. Even noble apple juice and very ripe mango
restaurant Palate
ah yes, it’s a bit more oaky than the nose suggested, alas, but it remains quite magnificent, coastal and medicinal, with peat mingled with green spices, green pepper, cider apple… Perhaps the best mouthwash ever produced by mankind
timer Finish
rather long, heading towards green curry, salted seaweed (wakame), orange chutney, then our friends the slightly plump oysters…
