Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들면 짙은 마호가니빛이 잔벽을 무겁게 흐른다. 코끝으로 가져가면 매캘런 10년 캐스크 스트렝스의 셰리 오크가 코코아와 체리 리큐어, 딸기잼 같은 향을 겹겹이 올린다. 57.3도의 한 모금을 굴리면 소금기 도는 감초와 말린 자두, 커피의 쓴맛이 진한 셰리의 몸집으로 입을 채운다. 삼키면 캐러멜라이즈된 과일과 짭짤한 리코리스가 스페이사이드 셰리답게 강렬하게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
mahogany
air Nose
much simpler at first nosing, perhaps a bit lean and too dry, with lots of cocoa but it does get more complex with time. There again quite some vegetables, more camphor and some very nice notes of cherry liqueur (guignolet), strawberry jam. It hasn’t got the Signatory’s complexity but it’s still a very nice sherried Glen Grant
restaurant Palate
creamier, punchier and also very salty (Olivier said it’s perhaps an osmotic mouth reaction?) Now we have a truly beautiful sherry, with lots of vegetables again, salted liquorice, cake, dried fruits (prunes in Armagnac), getting very coffeeish. Lots of body and oomph – a perfect sherry monster indeed. The finish is rather stunning, on caramelised fruits and salted liquorice. This palate was hugely concentrated, probably a little better than the Signatory’s, but the latter had a nicer nose. So, it’s going to be 89 points for this MacArthur (I had it at 88 before).
