Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
클라이드 만의 아란 섬에서 빚는 아란은 사방이 바다인 청정 풍토를 어린 술에 담는 비교적 젊은 증류소다. 버번 호그스헤드에서 22년을 보내 잔에 맑은 황금빛이 돈다. 향은 잘 익은 배와 바닐라, 시트러스의 산뜻한 단내가 또렷하다. 49.6도의 입은 과수원 과일과 꿀, 가벼운 향신료가 깔끔하게 흐른다. 여운에는 시트러스와 오크 바닐라가 곱게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
some tiny diesely notes at first, then this bready extravaganza that Arran can display when they handle their casks with moderation. Orange cake absolutely everywhere and all the time, which is utterly perfect. Orange blossom, panettone again and again, baklavas…
restaurant Palate
huge Arran, you wouldn't believe this was bottled at less than 55% vol. Crystallised ginger, Breton chouchen (distilled mead), gueuze, crêpes while we're at it, I would even swear there is some buckwheat in there. Which would be illegal, right? Buckwheat isn't a cereal, is it? Some marc as well, some raw cognac… All things that are superb when balance was found. Which, incidentally, was the case here., perhaps by chance
timer Finish
perfect barley-y and fermentary ending, with good body and responsiveness. Very solid dram
