Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 밝은 쪽으로 들면 1963년 증류액치고 옅은 금빛이 비친다. 코를 가져가면 바닐라와 데운 버터, 캐러멜의 둥근 단내가 앞서고 곡물의 구수함이 조용히 뒤를 받친다. 42.7도를 한 모금 머금으면 캐러멜과 견과의 첫인상이 좋지만 이내 탄닌과 소금기, 감초가 자리를 대신한다. 삼킨 뒤에는 1978년 병입이라는 오랜 시간에 비해 남는 것이 크지 않아 마른 나무 기운만 조용히 사라진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold, just a tad darker than the 8yo
air Nose
very similar, just a little less mashy but a tad oakier, with a little more vanilla and warm butter. Slightly rounder and more caramelised – and civilized. No comments on Japanese climate I’m afraid but I like this better than the 8 yo on the nose
restaurant Palate
the same happens on the palate, the attack is quite nice, caramelized, nutty and vanilled but it all falls apart after that, with just these tannins remaining, as well as a little cardboard and a little salt plus hints of liquorice. The finish isn’t quite as nonexistent as the 8yo’s but frankly, there isn’t much happening here. Certainly not a samurai: 72 points . Now, the good news is that you don’t even need to rinse your glass before you pour yourself another whisky.
