Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
셰리 캐스크에서 10년을 보낸 시간이 어린 아란에 붉은 과실과 견과류의 향을 입힌다. 키르슈와 갓 깐 아몬드, 잘 익은 딸기와 석류 시럽의 향이 날카롭게 피어오른다. 57.3도의 높은 도수는 입안에서 달콤하고 강렬한 딸기와 셰리의 단맛을 힘차게 밀어붙이며 어린 스피릿의 거친 활기를 그대로 드러낸다. 연어빛이 도는 볏짚빛 뒤로 달큰한 여운이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw with salmony hues
air Nose
spirity and rather sharp at first nosing, with notes of kirsch and fresh almonds but also a slight dirtiness (old cask, ‘old nun who neglects herself’ as we say at our wine club – err…). Goes on with overripe strawberries, grenadine syrup… Not much else. Not bad but not exactly interesting, I’d say, but then again, I’m not a big fan of these haphazardly made wineskies
restaurant Palate
sweet and punchy, with… well… something burning. Hot and slightly disjointed, with raw spirit on one side and ripe strawberries on the other side (and not much in the middle except something rubbery). Long but raw and sugarish finish. Well well, our Belgian friends are used to propose us much, much better expressions (even stunning ones I must say) but I’m sorry, I’m not game this time. Good proof that nobody can constantly succeed – yeah, I know, that was a little PC ;-). 65 points . Arran '100° proof' (57%, OB, 2006)
