Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
클라이드 만 아란 섬의 청량한 바닷바람과 온화한 풍토가 이제 막 자리 잡은 아란 증류소의 원액을 산뜻하게 키워냈다. 버번 캐스크에서 8년을 보낸 1996년 빈티지는 옅은 볏짚빛을 잔에 드리운다. 코끝에는 왁스와 아마인유, 신선한 아몬드와 장미 같은 꽃향이 곧게 감돈다. 55.9도의 힘이 사과주스와 배, 바닐라 퍼지의 단맛을 매끄럽게 이끌고 물에 스치면 계피와 향신료로 넓어진다. 여운에는 오렌지 마멀레이드의 잼 같은 단맛이 깔끔하게 이어지며 은은한 향신료가 뒤에 감돈다.
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’
