Yamazaki 25 Year Old Single Malt Japanese Whisky (Old Version)

700ml/43% （bottle In 1998） 

Nose: a great showcase of sherry aromas, especially figs poached in red wine, cooked plums and red fruit jam. Cocoa. Some roasted notes, hints of smoke even, and warm leather. Faint herbal notes and an oriental sandalwood note. Thick, jammy, very lovely.

Mouth: ouch. Hints of dried fruits at first, but it’s quickly overtaken by a deep sourness of oak, balsamic vinegar and cigar juices. Nice spicy notes though (especially cinnamon). Something of bitter oranges and over-infused rosehip tea. Sour cherries. Quite high on tannins as well. Tobacco. Impressive intensity for a relatively low alcohol volume, but too woody and sour.

Finish: long. Plenty of sourness from the oak (rather than an oaky dryness).

嚴選山崎蒸餾場中熟成25年以上原酒調配而成，甘甜華美、芳香馥郁。

顏色：濃厚深沉紅褐色。

香氣：葡萄乾、草莓醬、巧克力及杏仁果香氣。

風味：口感厚實，酒體厚重，沉穩的酸中略帶苦味，餘韻深長帶蜜餞及木質氣息。
