Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스코틀랜드 남부 로우랜드의 부드러운 풍토를 담아 오켄토션은 세 번 증류한 맑은 스피릿을 만든다. 엑스버번 캐스크에서 15년을 보낸 1997년 원액은 화이트 와인처럼 옅은 빛을 띠고, 배 사탕과 갓 벤 풀, 옅은 곡물 향이 산뜻하게 올라온다. 40도의 입안은 서양배 오드비 같은 과일 향과 고소한 견과가 뒤따르며, 마무리에는 살짝 매콤한 후추가 감도는 단정한 여운이 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
very spirity (pear drops), with some ‘caramelised’ peat. A little grainy, getting even grassy
restaurant Palate
pear eau de vie. Quite fruity! Some woody notes but not too many. Quite nutty. Rather long finish, getting peppery. A good, clean and simple whisky. 78 points (Davin 74, Olivier 74) . July 10, 2004 Susana Seivane MUSIC - She's Galician (Spanish), hence Celtic, and she's playing the bagpipe. I guess the camparison with the Islay Pipe Band stops here ;-). Susana Seivane 's compositions and playing are both quite modern, and most interesting. Kind of a mixture of Hermeto Pascoal, Goran Bregovic and Jim Motherwell. Have a listen to Começo Do Verâo (mp3, downloadable) and make up your mind yourself. Interesting, I told you... Correns, a beautiful village in Provence RESTAURANT - Back from three days in Provence. Hot and sunny, (very) few whiskies, some very good wine (Commanderie de Peyrassol cuvée Marie-Estelle) and the greatest hotel - restaurant I've been to since le Jardin des Sens in Montpellier, four years ago. The place is called 'l' Auberge du Parc ' and it's in Correns, not very far from Saint Tropez. Fabulous is the only word I can come up with. Don't miss it if you ever want to avoid the overcrowded French Riviera, and go to Green Provence, the beautiful arrière-pays . And oh, don't forget to ask for the Menu à la truffe , if you like truffles. A sin... A giant insect? No, it's just a machine they use to treat the vines. Not very romantic, I'm afraid...
