Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
짙은 호박빛이 잔 안에서 강하게 빛난다. 폐쇄된 일본 가와사키 곡물 증류소가 1982년 빈티지로부터 27년 동안 리필 셰리 벗에서 보낸 시간이 말린 자두와 호두, 짙은 가죽으로 코를 끌어당긴다. 65.4도의 강한 도수가 입안에서 다크 초콜릿과 시나몬, 잘 익은 자두를 두꺼운 질감으로 흐른다. 이치로스 초이스가 길어 올린 사라진 일본 그레인의 깊이가 길게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
what a powerhouse! Bursts with heady notes of sweet sherry (raisins) and old grain (vanilla and coconut), all that with very high impact on your nostrils. It’s really spectacular but water is obligatory provided you’ll be needing your nose in the coming days. With water: some smoke comes out (yes I know it’s grain), fruitcake, sandalwood, nutmeg, touches of saffron… Beautiful
restaurant Palate
extremely powerful and sweet, reminding me of some high-strength American rye. Big coconut! With water – because yes water is obligatory: a bed of many fruits and many spices. Kumquats, ripe mangos, coconut and raisins plus cloves, cinnamon, ginger, Chinese anise and liquorice, the whole being very rich and creamy, it’s almost a liqueur (something reminds me Compass Box’s excellent Orangerie)
timer Finish
very long, rich, liqueurish. Some pepper and ginger in the aftertaste as well as touches of litchis
