Tasting note
- Appearance : acajou à reflets verdâtres.
- Nose : envoûtant, riche. Il y a tout d’abord de magnifiques notes boisées (cire, vernis, sellerie, cuir, brou de noix). Ensuite, place aux fruits (fraise des bois, cerise à l’eau-devie, orange sanguine). Enfin, c’est autour des épices d’entrer en jeu (cannelle, cumin, paprika). Les gourmets apprécieront également les évocations gourmandes qu’il suggère : crème brulée, tarte aux pommes, poire au chocolat.
- Palate : vive, nerveuse. Tel un torrent, elle déverse un flot d’épices (cardamome, baies roses), de menthe sauvage, de fruits compotés (abricot, prune, pêche), de fruits noirs (cassis, mûre) et exotiques (goyave, kaki, mangue). Libre de tout artifice, un court instant, une note d’oxydation évoquant un vieux vinaigre de xérès exacerbe son fruité.
- Overall : longue, interminable. Le café torréfié, le pruneau, la réglisse noire, des notes de Havane et de pain d’épices, toutes ses saveurs concourent à créer une ambiance chaleureuse et cosy. Huileuse, elle se prolonge sur la vanillebourbon, le chocolat, la cardamome et les abricots secs.

The brand
After nearly a century, Yakima perfectly illustrates the integration of whisky into Japanese culture. For its production, Yamazaki uses six types of malted barley with various levels of peat, all from Scotland. It is during the fermentation process that Yamazaki begins to acquire some of its Japanese character. The 10, 12 and 18 year-old releases all have a rich, refined, elegant profile, characterised by the absence of malted notes. With age the initial fruity, vanilla notes are joined by dried fruit, chocolate and oak, all the while continuing to offer tremendous freshness. Find out more
