Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 올로로소 호그스헤드에서 비롯된 무화과와 호두의 향이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 어란 증류소가 24년 숙성한 1996 빈티지를 49.2도 프리미엄 캐스크로 병입한 이 보틀링은 섬 위스키의 가벼운 소금기와 셰리의 단맛이 명확하게 만난다. 팰럿에서는 건포도, 코코아, 가벼운 검은 후추가 발전한다. 피니시는 견과류와 마른 가죽으로 단정하게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
rosewood
air Nose
I too feel confident this is a sherry cask, and an excellent one to boot! Indeed, notes of boot polish (no doubt the power of suggestion hard at work there) and cherry cough syrup, herbal wines, Serge's beloved green walnut liqueur, tomato vines and some rather expensive strawberry jam. I find it a very clean and rather sharp, precise sherry style. Quite excellent!
restaurant Palate
nice arrival, punchy wood spices, cloves, aniseed, freshly made espresso, bitter chocolate, more walnuts - pickled this time - and rather a lot of strong black tea, black pepper and game meats. Getting more leathery with quite a few bitter herbs, ala some long aged Fernet Branca perhaps. Nicely umami as well with quite a bit of miso paste and dried mushrooms. Really excellent drop
timer Finish
good length, long in fact, all on bitter herbs, walnuts and coffee with a dark chocolate once again
