Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
밝은 금빛이 잔에 맑게 어린다. 아란 1996은 13년을 보낸 싱글 캐스크로, 비교적 젊은 증류소답게 생기 넘치는 과일 향이 도드라진다. 코끝에는 풋사과와 배, 바닐라 크림이 산뜻하게 피어난다. 56.2도의 높은 도수에도 입은 또렷하며 시트러스와 보리 단맛, 옅은 계피가 부드럽게 어우러진다. 물 한 방울에 향이 활짝 열리고, 여운에는 과수원의 단내가 가볍게 맴돈다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
mahogany
air Nose
big. Spices, gingerbread, chocolate, Christmas cake, Linzertorte, then peonies and lilies and lastly, pine needles and more cloves and caraway. Merry Christmas! With water: adds touches of cigars and cedar wood, a little coffee and some wonderful praline, all for Christmas
restaurant Palate
a powerful sherry monster, with a lot of punch, spices, jams and, well, slices and slices of fruitcake. Corinth raisins, cloves and pipe tobacco (I remember when I used to smoke pipes more than 25 years ago, there was a very heavy/moist tobacco called Borkum Riff. It was great but it used to ruin my palate). With water: perfect now. Just like its bro, it needs water to become fully balanced. More chocolate and tobacco, more spices but also more raspberries and other red fruits. Very Christmascaky (?)
timer Finish
long, balanced, on chocolate and marmalade. A salty touch and more liquorice in the aftertaste
