Sammenlignet med 18y; hvordan er denne?
Bannabein sine tasting notes for 18 åringen:
This beautiful golden spirit’s nose releases honeyed nuts and a slightly sea-induced salty tang. Rich toffee and leathery oak aromas can be sensed upon further inspection. The palate is influenced by mellow sherried nuts and shavings of the finest natural oak wood.
Ditto for Darach ur:
The nose offers lovely spicy sweet oak aromas, heather blossom, pencil shavings and hints of pine, cloves and nutmeg.
The taste is a wonderful balance of sweet vanilla oak with dried fruits and creamy nutty toffee. Smooth and creamy with citrus flavours and a hint of cinnamon.
The finish has a lovely texture of vanilla gingerbread spiciness and toasted cereals.
The voyage ends with dry notes that are interspersed with mixed spices fading magnificently into a light salt and sherry finale.
Jeg har
ikke sammenliknet, jeg er også usikker på om jeg egentlig har smakt 18-åringen, så jeg vet ikke. Men jeg
tipper at at Darach ur har vesentlig mer eik, er litt «friskere», kantete, råere og tørrere. Dvs contra kompleks, «smooth» og raffinert som jeg vil forvente av 18-åringen i direkte sammenlikning.
