KOMAGATAKE 8 ans 2016 Tsuki Otoshi Yakushima Aging 20ppm Sherry Hogshead Itinéraires

$350.00

In 2016, the Hombo Shuzo group opened an 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 expression 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 guiding thread throughout the tasting is peat, which appears by turns delicate, smoky, tarry, salty, iodine-rich and empyreumatic.

Description

Profile:

Full-bodied, airy. Smoky, peaty. Exotic, chocolatey, malty. Iodised, salty.

Nose:

Full-bodied, airy. At first, aromas of apricot and dried fig intertwine with exceptionally delicate peat. The aromatic profile evokes a caramelised apricot tart—superb. It then develops notes of orange, prune, roasted mango and dark chocolate.

Palate:

Elegant and complex. Powdery (cocoa), finely tarry and veiled in wisps of Havana cigar smoke, the flavour profile displays remarkable concentration. Over time, a beautifully malty, indulgent sequence (crème brûlée) with vanilla notes lends it impressive depth.

Finish:

Both firm and smooth. At this point, a rather dry, earthy and iodine-rich (seaweed) peat clearly takes centre stage. Moving into an increasingly salty register, the retro-olfaction reveals flavours of smoked fish, seafood (stuffed clams) and dry straw.
