I.W. Harper Gold Medal Japanese-market export release
Historical context
Japanese-market production during the period when I.W. Harper was absent from the U.S. domestic market
Special release
Japanese export
Allocation
Japan
Nose
Cinnamon spice, dry hickory nuts, floral deep rose scent and workshop wood. A very faint but persistent sweet vanilla undercurrent. Too much nosing brings an antiseptic and medicinal brute to the party.
Palate
Vanilla sugar, buttercream frosting and pear juice transition into a spicy backbone of white pepper, star anise, nutmeg, and old dry oak. The contrast between sweet and spicy is huge.
Finish
Spiciness transitions to mild astringency and a bit of mouth numbing. Abstract minerality comes and goes. Oakiness comes out more, reminding of an old wood-shop with dried oak planks. Everything fades in a minute or so but the oak lingers.
