Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
로우랜드의 잔잔한 들판과 선선한 바람은 칼레도니안에 깔끔하고 곧은 성격을 새겼다. 1987년 증류된 이 위스키는 옅은 밀짚빛을 띠며 잔 안에서 가볍게 흔들린다. 버번 호그스헤드에서 28년을 보낸 동안 코에는 바닐라와 야자, 잘 익은 멜론의 향이 또렷이 깃든다. 입안에서는 가벼운 꿀과 통후추, 오크의 결이 깔끔하게 이어지고 52.3도의 힘이 단정한 윤곽을 잡아 준다. 여운은 산뜻한 시트러스와 옅은 우드 스파이스로 길게 풀린다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
classic middle-aged grain whisky, with vanilla, coconut, biscuits, and ripe apples, then a little cardboard and Jell-O. With water: these touches of earth that often come with reduction, otherwise not much else. Fine. Or perhaps hints of old copper? Stills?
restaurant Palate
ah but this is good! Tastes like some south-of-Rhône white, Marsanne and roussanne and those things… Even grenache blanc, I would say. White Châteauneuf, distilled and re-aged in oak. With water: really, this is singular and very good. So, driving from Syke in Germany to Avignon in France, buying a few casks of white Châteauneuf-du-Pape, bringing them back to Germany, having them distilled, then filled into an ex-Caledonian hoggie, well, it was worth it! I find this really excellent, almonds, oranges, bilberries and elderberries, bananas…
timer Finish
rather long, and still on fine de Châteauneuf blanc. I doubt they could get some of that brilliant rare white Rayas Blanc, but who knows?
