Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
호박빛이 잔 속에 그윽하게 어린다. 스페이사이드 크라간모어를 1973년부터 15년 숙성한 이 오래된 보틀링은 코끝에 잘 익은 과일과 꿀, 옅은 향신료의 향을 정갈하게 풀어낸다. 40도의 잔잔한 질감이 혀를 감싸며 보리와 바닐라, 말린 사과의 단맛이 천천히 피어난다. 여운에는 꿀과 오크의 온기가 은은하게 남아 크라간모어 특유의 복합적인 결을 전한다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold with orange hues
air Nose
rather fresh at first nosing (cold tea) but soon to get quite toasted and malty before switching to more orangey and honeyed notes. Very faint rubber in the background and hints of toffee and fudge. Also a little smoke, probably from the ‘second casks’. Delicate but rich, getting heavily and impressively honeyed after a while (chestnut)
restaurant Palate
a rather demonstrative attack on coffee, malt and that chestnut honey that must come from the Port wood again but a rather sudden drop and then a rather thin middle, except for the malty notes and maybe these hints of rubber. As it sometimes happens, it gains steam again towards the finish, but with more rubber and notes of toasted bread as well as bitter chocolate, getting unexpectedly dry. A much better nose I think. 79 points. Cragganmore 1993 ‘Distillers Edition’ (40%, OB, Port finish, bottled 2006)
