Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
퍼스트필 럼 캐스크가 아란에 입힌 밝은 황금빛이 잔 속에서 가볍게 일렁인다. 향에는 잘 익은 바나나와 황설탕, 열대 과실의 달큼한 내음이 산뜻하게 솟는다. 11년 숙성을 거친 57.5도의 입맛은 당밀과 바닐라, 구운 파인애플의 풍미를 부드럽게 풀어내며 입안을 둥글게 감싼다. 아란 섬의 해풍을 머금은 여운은 달콤한 럼의 결과 옅은 소금기가 길게 어우러져 흐른다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw with salmony hues
air Nose
spirity and rather sharp at first nosing, with notes of kirsch and fresh almonds but also a slight dirtiness (old cask, ‘old nun who neglects herself’ as we say at our wine club – err…). Goes on with overripe strawberries, grenadine syrup… Not much else. Not bad but not exactly interesting, I’d say, but then again, I’m not a big fan of these haphazardly made wineskies
restaurant Palate
sweet and punchy, with… well… something burning. Hot and slightly disjointed, with raw spirit on one side and ripe strawberries on the other side (and not much in the middle except something rubbery). Long but raw and sugarish finish. Well well, our Belgian friends are used to propose us much, much better expressions (even stunning ones I must say) but I’m sorry, I’m not game this time. Good proof that nobody can constantly succeed – yeah, I know, that was a little PC ;-). 65 points . Arran '100° proof' (57%, OB, 2006)
