Tasting Notes
옅은 금빛이 잔 안에서 맑게 빛난다. 애런 섬의 이 위스키는 향에서 크림 같은 부드러움과 꿀, 사과와 오렌지즙의 산뜻함이 어우러진다. 1996년 증류 후 버번 캐스크에서 일곱 해를 보낸 이 몰트는 어린 나이에도 또렷한 개성을 지녔다. 58.4도의 힘은 입안에서 계피와 사과 조림, 캐러멜의 단맛을 대담하게 밀어올린다. 쌉쌀한 오렌지와 허브의 여운이 길게 이어지다 스러진다.
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?
