Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아란 섬에서 빚어진 아란이 버번 배럴에서 열세 해를 보낸 2001 프라이빗 캐스크다. 맑은 금빛이 잔에 환하게 머문다. 아란답게 잘 익은 복숭아와 배, 바닐라의 향이 화사하게 솟아오른다. 55.9도의 입맛은 시트러스와 꿀, 보리 단맛이 또렷하게 어우러지며 산뜻하게 흐른다. 여운에는 과일 단맛과 백후추, 옅은 오크가 잔잔히 잠겨 깔끔하게 이어지며, 섬 증류소 특유의 화사함을 전한다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
citrus! Orange juice, then more fresh barley, butterscotch, sultanas, and some kind of lemon-flavoured shortbread. Good definition, good freshness, I like that. With water: some praline, more cake-y notes, more barley. A very natural malt whisky
restaurant Palate
there’s some sherry left, but also, once again, plenty of oranges and shortbread, underlined with lemon and oak spices, especially white pepper. Cereals dipped into orange jam. Good solid body, perhaps a tad roughish but that’s most probably the high strength. With water: good barley-lemon interplay, plus quite some white pepper and ginger. Perhaps 2nd fill, but the oak hadn’t gotten inactive!
timer Finish
long, rather grassier. More pepper as well, but the citrus keeps singing, especially in the aftertaste
