Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
엑스버번 쿼터 캐스크의 작은 통이 단 4년의 숙성 동안 시즈오카 뉴메이크에 빠르게 우드를 입힌 결과가 향에서부터 또렷하다. 바닐라와 갓 켠 삼나무, 옅은 시트러스가 먼저 올라오고, 59.8도의 높은 도수가 입안에서 흰 후추와 보리 단맛을 진하게 밀어붙인다. 짧은 숙성에도 일본 증류소 특유의 맑은 결이 살아 있어, 투명한 황금빛 너머로 생강과 오크의 여운이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
speaking of varnish and nail polish remover… Well I suppose water should be added right away. With water: good one, we almost recreated the previous one. This one is just a little more extractive indeed (candied ginger and cinnamon cake), and that may be exclusively thanks to the smaller cask
restaurant Palate
very punchy, seemingly rather extractive indeed (a lot of vanilla) but frankly, it burns a little bit. With water: awesome spices, softer Madras style, sweet and sour sauces with fried bananas, custard, and certainly less of that infernal 'varnish and acetone' combo. Less kirschwasser too
timer Finish
long, rather rich, spicy, Indian-style. I mean Indian cuisine (friends, I now there are so many of them) and not exactly Indian whisky
