In 2016, the Hombo Shuzo group opened a ageing cellar on the subtropical island of Yakushima, where casks from its two distilleries, Komagatake and Tsunuki, are left to mature. Aged in sherry casks, this version has a phenol content of 20 ppm. Its particularly evocative aromatic and flavour profile evolves with great finesse and precision, moving from deliciously indulgent notes to malty and herbaceous ones. The common thread running through the tasting is peat, which is by turns delicate, smoky, tarry, salty, iodine-like and empyreumatic.

Nose : Full-bodied, airy. Initially, aromas of apricot and dried fig intermingle with incredibly delicate peat. The aromatic palette evokes a caramelised apricot tart. Superb. Then progresses into notes of orange, prune, roasted mango and dark chocolate.

Palate : Elegant and complex. Powdery (cocoa), finely tarry and covered in wisps of Havana cigar smoke, the flavour profile shows remarkable concentration. Over time, a very attractive malty, indulgent (crème brûlée) and vanilla sequence gives it a beautiful consistency.

Overall : Both firm and smooth. Now, a rather dry, earthy and iodine (seaweed) peat clearly takes centre stage. Entering an increasingly salty world, the retro-olfaction is marked by flavours of smoked fish, seafood (stuffed clams) and also dry straw.
