Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
셰리 벗이 아란의 16년을 감쌌지만 이 프라이빗 캐스크는 달콤함보다 왁스와 풀의 개성을 앞세운다. 아마인유와 양초 왁스, 구두약과 갓 깐 아몬드의 독특한 향이 코끝에서 또렷이 살아나고 장미 같은 꽃내음이 스친다. 55.9도의 도수는 입안에서 사과주스와 배, 바닐라 퍼지의 단맛에 육두구와 흰 후추의 스파이스를 얹는다. 옅은 황금빛 색과 함께 오렌지 마멀레이드와 모과 젤리처럼 잼 같지만 무겁지 않은 여운이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
rather powerful, mostly waxy and vegetal/grassy at first nosing. Nice development on linseed oil and candle wax, rather big notes of shoe polish, walnut skin, paraffin and fresh almonds. Very nice profile, very straight. Very little fruitiness, that is. Gets more floral (roses). With a little water: it became more complex, very nicely ‘wild’, with whiffs of ‘forest after the rain’, mushrooms... Then something maritime (clams?), kelp... Maybe not exactly impressive but rather complex and perfectly balanced. I like this nose
restaurant Palate
sweet and ‘direct’, maybe a little simple now. Apple juice, pear juice and orange squash plus vanilla fudge and a little nutmeg and white pepper. With water: it got more complex, spicier, wider, more assertive... Very nice spices, cinnamon, paprika, soft curry... All that on top of orange marmalade and quince jelly. Excellent
timer Finish
long, balanced, candied, jammy but never ‘thick’
