Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들어 향을 열면 1977년 증류액에서 데운 버터와 바닐라, 캐러멜이 순하게 올라온다. 코를 오래 두면 셰리보다 곡물과 마른 오크가 앞서 나와 열여덟 해의 시간이 조용히 흘렀음을 알려준다. 한 모금 머금으면 캐러멜과 견과가 매끄럽게 들어오지만 곧 탄닌과 감초가 혀를 조인다. 삼키면 1995년에 병입된 이 빈티지는 큰 소리를 내지 않고 옅은 소금기만 남긴 채 물러난다.
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.
