Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
옅은 짚빛이 잔에 잔잔히 잠겨 있다. 시즈오카가 2018년에 증류해 버번 캐스크에서 5년을 머문 시간은 짧지만 후지산 자락의 청량한 공기가 만든 정갈한 결을 보존한다. 향에서는 갓 깎은 배와 바닐라, 옅은 향나무가 가볍게 풀려나고 입에서는 46.3도의 절제된 도수가 부드러운 단맛과 흰후추로 흐른다. 여운에는 일본 위스키 특유의 정갈한 균형이 오래 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
pim pam poom, peat, mango, citron, lemon curd, coriander leaves and Thai basil. High-definition Shizuoka, not overly complex but could it be at just 4. Add elements from some ocean, I'm reluctant to mention wakame since that would be too easy with a Japanese whisky. Well, there, wakame salad. Awesome nose, pretty easy. Why make things difficult
restaurant Palate
a feeling of serene fullness. Salty peat, more citron (if I mention yuzu you kill me – well, there, yuzu), gentler peppers (Szechuan, Timut), elderberry liqueur (Nussbaumer in Alsace make a great one, so much better than 'that famous brand')… And probably a little ginseng and some fresh raw wholegrain bread
timer Finish
long, a tad more gingery, and always with these smoked lemons, some olives, some gherkins, some capers and even some pickled samphire
