Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아란 섬 북단 로크란자에서 1995년 첫 증류를 시작한 아란은 이 초기 원액으로 섬 증류소의 출발을 기록한다. 잔에는 깊은 금빛이 담긴다. 버번 배럴에서 15년을 보낸 15주년 보틀링은 볶은 땅콩과 당밀, 버터스카치의 향에 담뱃잎을 살짝 얹는다. 51.4도의 입안은 크리미한 몰트와 키르슈, 초콜릿과 계피의 결로 흐른다. 여운은 밤 퓌레와 은은한 마른 나무 향을 남기며 여문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
so a very early distillate, and still some roughness here and there, despite the many years. Roasted peanuts, molasses, malt, butterscotch, drops of soy sauce, balsamico, tobacco… Well if that's a hogshead, it's a sherry hogshead. With water: ale and fig chutney, perhaps. Old white wine
restaurant Palate
very creamy, on malt and kirsch, with a discrete soapy side, cologne, chocolate, cinnamon rolls… Well, there is some kind of imprecision to this one, but remember Arran only started burning in 1995 indeed. I remember very vividly the first drops we could try, we were all thinking, 'but why aren't they going for peated?' Another era… With water: these touches of soap do not quite belong here
timer Finish
medium, with a little cardboard and chestnut purée
