Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가까이 하면 일본 히로시마의 사쿠라오답게 퍼스트필 셰리가 더한 건포도와 호두, 다크초콜릿 향이 명확하게 드러난다. 2018년 증류해 4년을 보낸 어린 원액에 셰리의 짙은 단맛이 배었다. 입에서는 무화과와 캐러멜, 옅은 정향이 발전하며 54도의 힘이 받친다. 중반부에는 견과의 고소함이 구조감을 더한다. 피니시는 마른 과일과 카카오가 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
few fruits this time, rather bread dough, porridge, perhaps Teflon, almond milk, stearin… A whole different, slightly shier style. Apples. With water: earths, roots, vegetables, stems, fruit peel, poppy seed bread… That's all very nice
restaurant Palate
many more fruits on the palate, especially maracuja and guava, also pink grapefruits, hops and Timut pepper. Rather strangely, it rather reminds me of that otherworldly Chichibu 'beer cask'. With water: very good! Great fresh fruitiness, some wee pink bananas, otherwise apples and pears, plums, lime…
timer Finish
more of all that, with more tartness, which always works in a finish
