Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
버번 캐스크가 9년이라는 짧은 시간에 끌어낸 활기가 향에서 가장 먼저 드러난다. 아란 증류소가 직접 보틀링한 1998 빈티지는 58.5도라는 도수로 갓 깎은 사과와 바닐라 크림, 옅은 코코넛의 향이 명확히 비친다. 입에서는 보리 사탕과 시트러스 껍질, 가벼운 베이킹 스파이스가 두꺼운 질감으로 흐른다. 어린 위스키답지 않은 단단한 구조감이 도수의 거침을 곱게 받쳐주며, 여운은 마른 보리 향과 함께 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
salmon
air Nose
ha! It starts amazingly meaty and rubbery, with also some rather bold notes of cooked strawberries. Not too bad, actually. A little ginger, Alka-Seltzer, getting then very spicy (lots of clove and pepper from the casks). Not bad at all. One must not forget that Château (that’s right, there’s a circumflex on the ‘a’, folks, don’t forget it on your labels!) Margaux uses only new oak, so the wood’s influence is very big, even if it’s very tight French oak
restaurant Palate
a sharp attack, with some bold notes of liquorice, very spicy again – and also quite herbal. And them come the cloves again, together with quite some juniper, making the whole taste almost like a (very strong) mulled wine. Very curious but not bad! 79 points .
