Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
글래스고 외곽 클라이드 강가의 오큰토션은 로우랜드 전통인 삼중증류로 가볍고 섬세한 몰트를 빚는다. 올로로소 셰리 옥타브로 짧게 마감한 다크니스 26년산은 짙은 호박빛을 띠며, 건포도와 호두, 오렌지 껍질 향이 우아하게 솟는다. 40.2도의 절제된 도수는 입안에서 무화과와 토피, 가벼운 향신료를 부드럽게 풀어낸다. 여운에는 말린 과일과 견과가 잔잔히 잠겨 길게 이어진다.
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...
