Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 어린 아란답게 크리미하고 꿀 바른 사과와 크림 파이, 오렌지 주스 향으로 열린다. 버번 캐스크의 오크 영향이 뚜렷해 오래된 나무의 뉘앙스가 얹힌다. 팰럿은 58.5도의 힘으로 대담하게 들어와 사과 콤포트와 배 주스, 계피가 또렷하게 밀려온다. 결정화된 과일과 캐러멜의 단맛이 균형 있게 발전한다. 마무리는 쌉쌀한 오렌지와 향신료가 산뜻하게 오래 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
light gold
air Nose
this time there’s much more wood influence, although it’s nicely creamy and honeyed. Apple and creme pie, orange juice, sour creme. Hints of old wood (empty wine cask). Feint hints of rum, but that might be my mind’s work

ah, this is more like it. Rather bold attack for a 40% malt. Rather woody, but also quite spicy (mostly cinnamon). Apple compote, pear juice, crystallised fruits, caramel… Nice! It gets curiously metallic after a moment (silver spoon) and even a little salty – or is it me? The finish is rather long, on bitter orange and herbs (certainly from the rum cask). By the way, a flyer in the presentation box says ' Rum distillers from Sancti Spiritus near the Sierra Escambray in the heart of Cuba, were instrumental in the creation of the rich Cuban Rum Finish ' Quite elliptic, will that work with the US customs? Anyway, the malt is really good! 84 points . MUSIC - Highly recommended listening: beautiful song Nadia (mp3, from 'You had it Coming', 2001) by the great Jeff Beck , playing his guitar almost like a sitar. Wowie!!! Please buy Jeff Beck's music. GIFTS - Never late at a tasting session again! Seen on eBay, this superb (?!?) Laphroaig alarm clock . The clock has a small light to check the time at night, a 10 minute snooze function and an alarm that gets louder and louder and then constant, to make sure you get up - and don't miss your dram! It also has an insert with World Time Differences to help you adjust - and dram on-line with your web friends?
