Apr 25th, 2017Served blind...I asked if it was a PX based off smell. After I tasted, it was obviously an amazing whiskey. Had no idea it was this. Whoa.

Beautiful burnt umber, red ochre in color. Powerful yet seductive aromas and flavors of dark chocolate, cherry jubilee, toffee, hazelnut, vanilla, black currant, blackberry, and honey. Heavy, syrupy mouthfeel. Long, glorious finish. Beautiful, beautiful, BEAUTIFUL whisky!

May 10th, 2016The most beautiful burnt umber in color. Delicious red fruits, pomegranate, cream sherry, sweet honey, clove, vanilla bean, dried figs, fruit cake, lavender, cigar smoke, and sandalwood. Unctuous mouthfeel, syrupy in the mouth. Hot but balanced. Palate echoes the above but takes everything to the next level. Additional notes of raisins and dried plums round out the finish. Insanely complex, with mind blowing depth. I literally had the last pour from this bar's only allocated bottle! What an experience!

☆ Yamazaky Sherry Cask 2013. Single Malt. 48%. Japan.
A blend of Single Malt from the Yamazaky distilery with 25 years old whisky and some young talent. Matured in sherry oak.
Amazing nose !! Old red wine, cedar wood, cassis jam. Now, Banyuls ! Toasted nuts, dark cacao, dried plum and dried grappe in alcohol, black cherry.

Splendid !
☆Maison Suntory
Yamazaky Sherry Cask Edition 2013.
Réduit à 48%.
Assemblage de single malt de la distillerie Yamazaky de 25 ans et de "jeunes talents"
Intégralement vieilli en fût de Sherry.
Splendide, le bouquet est infini, c'est un moment un vin rouge âgé et mature sur des notes de Cèdre, de cassis confituré, puis un Banyuls, grillés, cacao amer, noix, le pruno séché, raisin sec à l'eau de vie, la griotte.
Sur 30 minutes, le whisky évolue sur des notes de terre, d'orange confite, d'abricot sec.
Un moment rare !!
Le violon est accordé et en bouche, c'est un grand moment.
Notes torréfié et grillé, de raisin sec, de figue.
Cerise noire, c'est gras. Matière bien présente, c'est parfaitement équilibré. Légèrement pimenté.
Finale très longue sur les fruits secs, salin, légèrement iodé.
Superbe !
Entre 1700 et 2800 euros.
À bientôt.

Raisin, clove notes. Complex yet mellow. Dark rich color. I think it's best enjoyed neat.

Feb 23rd, 2016Amazing. Sweet yet refined. Monotone in taste doesn't have much complexity in taste. But that doesn't mean it wasn't Worth it. I'm ruined for life. The bar has been set.
