Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
시즈오카 증류소의 짧은 숙성 보틀링이지만, 노즈에서는 일본산 미즈나라 분위기 대신 버번 캐스크 특유의 바닐라와 생강 노트가 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 입안에서는 55.6도의 도수에도 균형이 단단하게 유지되며, 풋사과와 흰꽃의 신선함이 발전한다. 피니시는 어린 위스키답게 짧지만 정직한 곡물 단맛으로 정리된다. 시즈오카의 초기 빈티지 캐릭터를 가늠하기 좋은 표본이다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
light gold
air Nose
perhaps a little gingerbread-heavy? I believe some single casks have been purer, crisper… Now good news, the malt is soon to have the upper hand, with some awesome notes of pumpkin bread, buckwheat crêpes, and artisan pilsner. That's all good. With water: perfect. High-precision millimetric fermentary smoke, reminding me, that's true, of that Malt Mill by James MacArthur, not even sure it was genuine. But there…
restaurant Palate
tight smoke and mustard and walnuts and bitter oranges. Perfect touches of Stollen, which is close to that gingerbread that we first found on the nose. Anise cookies. With water: excellent. Glue (yep), gingerbread, sake, anise, caraway and fennel seeds, lemon bread… What's not to like? Very thick body, always a good sign
timer Finish
long, fat, almost sticky, bready…
