Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
맑은 황금빛이 잔 벽을 따라 가볍게 흐른다. 1989년 호그스헤드에서 15년을 보낸 크래간모어답게 잘 익은 사과와 풀잎, 옅은 꽃향이 산뜻하게 솟아오른다. 한 모금 머금으면 보리의 고소함과 꿀의 단맛 뒤로 미세한 흙내음과 향신료가 복합적으로 드러난다. 55.4도의 힘은 또렷하면서도 입안에서 매끄럽게 풀리고, 여운에는 몰트의 고소함과 옅은 스모키 뉘앙스가 잔잔히 잠겨 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
so very close! This is the 1999 at a higher strength, more or less. Same fat orchardy style, same herbal hints… I’m really all for this. With water: indeed, we’re extremely close. This one may have a wee tad more earthy earth. Perhaps cedar wood?
restaurant Palate
totally excellent, and rather different this time. The fatness is there again, and so is the honey, but it’s also got rooty notes, between some kind of beetroot and sweet liquorice. Extremely creamy mouth feel. With water: maple syrup all over the place, plus a slice of pineapple and more honey. The earthy/rooty side is never far away
timer Finish
quite long, with a little more oranges, and plenty of fruit syrups. Perfect oaky balance
