Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들면 아란 12년이 셰리 호그스헤드에서 마셔 들인 마른 자두와 호두 노트를 풀어 놓는다. 잔을 코끝에 가져가면 아일랜드 특유의 짭조름한 바람 끝이 셰리 단맛 뒤에서 옅게 깃든다. 한 모금을 머금으면 54.5도의 도수가 페스티벌 캐스크답게 진한 다크 초콜릿과 건포도를 동시에 밀어 올린다. 마지막에는 마른 가죽 향이 천천히 사그라든다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
interesting. Sure there’s some wine but one can really feel the pinot noir, while I’m not sure that many finishings do resemble the wine that was used. Black cherries and strawberry jam plus a little orange juice, chocolate and black pepper. Works well so far. With water: a little eucalyptus coming through
restaurant Palate
another one that’s quite oily. As far as the profile’s concerned, it’s very unusual and, I must say, most pleasant. In fact, it tastes like some ultra-fortified semi-sweet Madeira. Sultanas, a little leather, corn syrup, honey and fruit salad. Quite a surprise (but the pinot noir is pretty unrecognisable this time). With water: the black cherries are back. Chambertin??? I’m joking…
timer Finish
quite long, rather grassier and bitterer. Stalks, grape pips
