Pure malt Red (Sendai) vatted malt whisky 43% 50 cl
Varenr: VMAL0216
Disse 50cl „apoteker-flasker“ skal ikke undervurderes. En cocktail af forskellige årgange fra hhv. Sendai og Yoichi destillerierne giver en spændende smag. , altså en kraftig malt. Red er Sendai, den lette bløde malt og White er Yoichi med masse af røg. Der er ikke angivet nogen alder, men smagen taler for sig selv. Det er bestemt ikke et „overskuds-produkt“.
Næse: Markant appelsin og frugt noter, efter opvarmning slår den over i urte noter.
Smag: Den starter frugtagtige noter men bevæger sig hurtigt
til let røget malt byg og honning.
Eftersmag: Lang, den udvikler malt og blomster noter. I det hele taget er den bemærkelsesværdig afbalanceret og meget frisk.
TASTING NOTES:
Bright and fruity. Candied peanuts. Tahini. Peaches and cream. "Still, trapped air, like going into a tent, or a cottage or shack that has been locked up for a few seasons." Time allows some herbaceous (grass, parsley) elements to emerge and water softens the brightness and brings out a touch of peat, roasted aubergine/eggplant or soil. "Becomes outdoorsy"
Again, bright and fruity, butterscotch. Sugary black tea. Fresh and lively. Fills out with some earth and peat, but remains confection-ary. Slightly smoky in the toastiness at the end. Water really exaggerates the earthiness and it becomes a surprisingly chewy whisky.
SUMMARY:
Perfectly clean, fresh, summery malt. I loved the oscillation between candied orange and earthy smokiness. Wholly unique, but to offer some points of reference, Kristin finds it comparable with a features of Bell's blended whisky while I find it shares features with Rosebank, unpeated BenRiach and young Talisker. Love the packaging, too.
"Spirity. Woody. Sweet. That's about it. Blend-ish. Did they pour caramel into this?"
To each their own.
"Black" is a pure malt whisky made primarily with the Yoichi malt, and it has a solid, bold taste. "Red," on the other hand, is made primarily with malt of the Miyagikyo distillery and has a soft, delicate flavor. "White" is a pure malt whisky made mainly with Islay, Scotland type malt and has a heavy, peaty essence.
