Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 돌려 향을 깨우면 아란 특유의 밝은 과일 향이 먼저 솟아오른다. 코를 가까이 하면 셰리 호그스헤드가 안긴 붉은 사과와 계피, 졸인 베리 향이 또렷이 드러난다. 한 모금 머금으면 21년 숙성이 다져 준 둥근 질감 위로 오렌지 껍질과 정향, 달콤한 향신료가 번진다. 52도의 알코올이 혀를 적당히 데우고, 삼킨 뒤에는 사과 파이 같은 단맛과 가벼운 후추가 입안에 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
probably not first fill sherry, which means that this is both subtler and fuller, more on balanced panettone and cakes, raisin rolls, vanilla cake, many breads, leaven, chamomile, honeysuckle, lime blossom, a little menthol and liquorice, roots (hey, black carrots?)… Nutshell, this is clearly more complex and fresher. With water: flours, breads, doughs, grist… That's just what the people want
restaurant Palate
perfect. Some minerality, barley, raisins, herbal teas, green spices, preserved greengages once again… Well this is just extremely good. No literature needed. With water: sweet citrus popping out, as well as some camphory kinds of herbs. Mi piacere very much
timer Finish
long, fresh, citrusy and herbal. A drop of olive oil in the aftertaste, nothing beats this. Fresh finishes always win over more pachydermic drams
