Flavor Profile
Tasting 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)
