Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잘 익은 적갈색이 잔 속에 따뜻하게 어린다. 셰리 캐스크에서 9년을 보낸 아란 1998은 건포도와 잘 익은 체리, 구운 아몬드의 향이 진하게 솟아오른다. 56.9도의 높은 도수가 입안에서 자두 잼과 다크초콜릿, 옅은 후추의 풍미로 힘차게 번지며 어리지만 셰리 통이 더한 짙은 단맛을 드러낸다. 여운은 붉은 과실의 단맛과 향신료의 알싸함이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
starts leafy and leathery, grassy and a tad rubbery. Whiffs of chalk and clay, cardboard, peach leaves, green tea… Rather austere so far, without the fruity and vanilled notes that are often to be found in Arran in my experience. With water: same plus plain grass. Earth. Whiffs of cow stable as well, old wine barrel… Mind you, all that is pretty nice
restaurant Palate
many red berries plus a little rubber again on top of some vanilla and white pepper. Quite nervous. More compact than on the nose. Good body. With water: the best part now, with some strawberry jam, maybe a little mango chutney and quite some vanilla crème. Water worked very well here
timer Finish
rather long, fruity, a little bubblegummy. Pepper in the aftertaste, as often
