Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아란 섬을 둘러싼 청량한 바닷바람과 온화한 해양 기후가 이 증류소의 밝고 과일 가득한 성격을 빚어낸다. 버번 호그스헤드를 거쳐 마데이라 캐스크에서 마무리한 20년산은 은은한 구릿빛을 머금는다. 코에는 잘 익은 복숭아와 살구, 달콤한 와인 향이 피어오르고, 51.9도의 입에서는 검붉은 과일과 꿀, 가벼운 향신료가 또렷하게 번진다. 달큰한 과일 잔향이 여운에 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
there is a wine-iness indeed, around stems and buds (peonies?), as well as an earthy fruitiness. It’s funny that we’re rather feeling red wine (90% of the red wine finishings don’t work IMHO, but 10% do). Mulled wine, earthy fruits... With water: rather more natural – that is to say maltier
restaurant Palate
crikey, another one that’s pretty good! A spicy and peppery arrival, then plenty of walnuts, which suggests that this was a dry Madeira. Bitter oranges and leather. With water: excellent balance. Grapefruits, ginger, and walnuts
timer Finish
pretty long, on the same notes. Thyme in the aftertaste?
