Ichiro's 1986 King of Hearts Tasting note

By Miguel in Tasting , Recommended , Hanyu
90
Ichiro 1986 King of Hearts
An incredible addition to the Ichiro's Malt Card range. Each whisky, in very modish style, is named after a playing card. We love them! This was distilled at the Hanyu distillery in 1986, and aged in a hogshead before a finish in a Pedro Ximenez sherry butt. Bottled in 2009.

This dram has a tawny-like color.

Nose (90): powerful. fruits, floral, honey, vanilla, raisins, almonds.

Palate (90): smooth, oily, powerful. peaches, wood, cocoa, pineapple, raisins, cocoa.

Finish (89): very long. cocoa, raisins, floral.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Ichiro 1986 King of Hearts with 90 points over 100.
