Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들면 옅은 황금빛이 유리 벽을 타고 느리게 흐른다. 코끝을 가져가면 오켄토션다운 풀과 마지팬, 갓 깐 호두 향이 먼저 올라오고, 붉은 건포도 시럽과 허브차의 뉘앙스가 뒤따른다. 한 모금 머금으면 55.8도의 힘이 바닐라 크림과 아몬드, 누가, 캐러멜의 단맛을 혀 위에 펼치며 올로로소 셰리의 무게를 드러낸다. 삼킨 뒤에는 파인애플과 쌉쌀한 오렌지의 여운이 은근하게 남아 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
this one starts more vegetal, on grass, marzipan and fresh walnuts. Gets then fruitier, with lots of redcurrant syrup, grenadine and blackcurrants but it’s still very simple and basic. A slightly disturbing soapiness in the background but the whole gets nicer after a good ten minutes, with lots of green and herbal teas as well as quite some thyme and rosemary. Not too bad, in fact
restaurant Palate
sweet and rather expressive, starting on a mix of vanilla crème, fresh almonds, nougat and caramel. Rather nice bitterness, getting also slightly resinous… Then it’s back to the fruits such as fresh pineapples, pears and bitter oranges. Medium long finish, slightly leafy and bitterish, alas. This Auchentoshan isn’t a winner but it’s certainly not unpleasant. 75 points . Auchentoshan 18 yo (55.8%, OB, 2006) Matured in oloroso sherry casks
