Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
은은한 황금빛이 잔 안에서 오래된 빛으로 감돈다. 오큰토션 특유의 곡물 포리지와 으깬 바나나, 효모의 향이 먼저 열리고 버터컵과 백합의 꽃 향이 뒤를 잇는다. 입에서는 42.8도의 질감이 처음엔 단단하다 이내 익힌 사과와 캐러멜, 프랄린의 부드러운 단맛으로 열린다. 세 번 증류한 로우랜드 원액다운 정갈한 결이 27년의 시간과 어우러진다. 여운은 중간 길이로 몰트와 시리얼, 캐러멜의 고소함이 잔잔히 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
starts quite porridgy – even with crushed bananas – and bearish-yeasty but all that is rather pleasant. It seems that these recent batches are less ‘simply fruity’ than older versions. It also seems that there’s a little sherry in there, as there are hints of ‘buttery wine’ in the background. Other than that it’s very flowery, with notes of buttercups and lilies that makes the whole even a tad heady. Hints of liquorice and ham. Bigger than the entry-level Auchentoshans used to be on the nose
restaurant Palate
well, there’s a little less happening now. Quite firm at the attack, malty and grainy, but getting then rather thinner, with a ‘moderate’ middle on cooked apples, caramel and praline
timer Finish
medium long, malty, cereally and caramelly
