At Brooklyn Park Cellars we are constantly updating and introducing new products. Here are just a few examples of recent intakes.
Yamazaki 12 Year Old Single Malt Japanese Whisky
$440.00
Color: Toasted Gold
Nose: This is a fruity whisky. Very tropical nose with lots of pineapples, coconut, vanilla, and big floral notes. Reminds me of a sweet fruit tart, with a little acidity and wisps of toasted oak. While this nose has a lot going on, it’s not big and bold. It’s a subtle nose that brings you back in to explore more.
Palate: Subtle, complex and elegant. It starts off with delicious honey and Tahitian vanilla bean. Then come more of the big juicy fruits like melon, pineapple, and more coconut. The tropical flavors come in around the midpalate and then move into beautiful wood and cocoa powder notes. Mouthfeel is good, with a richer body than something like Suntory’s Hibiki Harmony. The alcohol takes a backseat on this pour, with
Finish: Medium to long waxy finish. The burst of tropical flavors on the palate dissipate into dried fruits and a touch of baking spice that lingers on the tongue.
Hibiki Harmony Whisky
$210.00 per bottle
Harmony – a rather apt word to describe this well-balanced Japanese blended whisky from the Hibiki range. Hibiki Japanese Harmony is made with malt whiskies from the Yamazaki and Hakushu distilleries, as well as grain whisky from the Chita distillery. The whiskies are drawn from 5 different types of cask, including American white oak casks, Sherry casks and Mizunara oak casks. The blend itself was crafted by the Suntory Whisky blending team, led by Master Blender Shingo Torii. An elegant expression, with wafts of honey, orange, a herbaceous touch or two and light oak.
Nose: Red berries, green apple and layers of rich honey.
Palate: Melted butter and caramelised dates. A hint of fragrant sandalwood develops into warming, oak-y spice.
Finish: Brown sugar, citrus peels, white grape and black pepper.
The Hakushu Single Malt Distillers Reserve
$160.00 per bottle
From the Hakushu distillery in the foothills of Mount Kaikomagatake comes their Distiller’s Reserve single malt whisky, a no-age-statement expression, that captures the smoky, herbaceous characteristics of their whiskies. Both lightly-peated and heavily-peated malts were used for this complex and deeply enjoyable whisky. One of two Spring 2014 release from Suntory.
Nose: The herbs are very up front with this one. Peppermint, pine and pleasant grassy notes. Cucumber and melon round out the nose.
Palate: All the notes on the nose swim effortlessly through the palate, the mint developing sweeter notes as it goes on. Citrus zest also pops in to say hello.
Finish: A waft of smoke appears during the long finish.
Overall: This shall make a fantastic Highball. Oh yes it shall.
