Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 첫 캐스크 호그스헤드와 추가 쿼터 캐스크가 결합된 영향이 명확하게 드러나며 짙은 베이킹 스파이스와 잘 익은 검은 과일이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 이치로스 몰트가 2011년에 14년 60도로 병입한 이 Hanyu 2000은 폐쇄 증류소의 풍부한 캐릭터가 또렷이 발현된다. 팰럿에서는 무화과, 정향, 가벼운 가죽이 차례로 발전한다. 피니시는 향신료와 마른 오크가 단단하게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
the oak talks first, with a profile that lies between green tea, vanilla and ripe berries such as gooseberries and redcurrants. The latter suggest it’s young whisky indeed but I wouldn’t say it’s immature, not at all. It’s also pleasantly grassy and slightly coastal and earthy at the same time, which is amusing. With water: it’s coconut and white chocolate galore, with only touches of cinchona. Then more marshmallows but in no way it’s immature whisky
restaurant Palate
excellent, punchy, very creamy, fruity, sweet, sexy… Sure it’s young but this liqueury feeling is very pleasant. Many tinned fruits (apricots, maybe litchis, papayas, others) and just the right amount of cinnamon and pepper from the oak. I must say it reminds me a bit of some Amruts. With water: excellent, truly excellent. Complex, earthy, fruity, spicy, herbal… It’s really got everything, all that with a superb freshness
timer Finish
long, clean, chocolaty. A desert malt
