Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스코틀랜드 남부 로랜드 에든버러에 있던 그레인 증류소 칼레도니안의 1987년 빈티지로, 지금은 사라진 곳의 28년 장기 숙성이다. 잔에는 깊은 황금빛이 돈다. 호그스헤드에서 오래 잠든 그레인답게 코코넛, 바닐라, 버터스카치의 달콤한 향이 풍성하게 오른다. 52.6도의 부드러운 질감으로 입에서는 토피와 옥수수 단맛, 가벼운 오크가 둥글게 번진다. 여운은 크리미한 바닐라와 마른 오크로 길게 남는다.
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?
