Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈를 가까이 하면 진한 셰리의 단맛과 잘 익은 건자두가 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 크라간모어 증류소의 매니저스 드램 시리즈로, 17년 셰리 캐스크 보틀링이다. 팰럿은 62%의 강한 알코올을 따라 빽빽한 건과일과 마른 가죽, 다크 초콜릿이 명확하게 발전한다. 크라간모어 특유의 미트한 캐릭터가 단단한 구조감을 받쳐 준다. 피니시는 마른 향신료와 다크 베리 향이 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
very punchy, with similar aromas (flints, struck matches) but also something that’s even closer to sulphur, leather and shoe polish. Most probably from sherry casks. Rather winey as well. Very nice whiffs of damp earth and humus and a little salpetre. Very interesting nose but the 62% vol. are well there! With water: superb! Game, old balsamic vinegar, menthol, tiger balm, camphor, fern… The Managers had it good in 1992
restaurant Palate
yee-hah! Strong, invading, nervous, heavy on the liquorice and on herbal liqueurs. Mint liqueur? Dantziger Goldwasser? Quite extreme. With water: crash! It became so heavily mentholated that it’s almost flawed in my view. Reminds me of some very strong old bourbons of Irish (some, not all!)
timer Finish
very long but really green now, kind of biting. I’m sure some enthusiasts would love this one but it’s a rather tricky malt on the palate
