Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스페이강을 굽어보는 언덕에 자리한 매캘란은 셰리 숙성의 대명사로, 온화한 풍토와 셰리 오크가 진한 색과 향을 빚는다. 아메리칸과 유러피언 오크를 함께 쓴 이 12년 더블 캐스크는 호박빛을 띠고, 코에는 키르슈와 말린 자두, 생강과 육두구에 옅은 파이프 담배가 스친다. 43도의 입안은 마멀레이드와 정향, 계피와 다크 초콜릿이 두껍게 흐른다. 여운은 초콜릿과 후추, 육두구의 향신료가 셰리 단맛과 함께 은근하게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
there’s something fresh and young in there, around kirsch and prune spirit, as well as more gunpowder than in earlier sherried Macallans. I’m also finding hints of gummi bears, raspberry drops, then a little ginger and nutmeg that suggests newish oak has been in use. So a rather ‘modern’ nose, although I wouldn’t quite call it a ‘lab whisky’ at this point. Yes, as in lab wine. More traditional Macallany touches after two or three minutes, with a wee meatiness, some pipe tobacco, marmalade, and touches of cedar wood or cigar box. Including its content. The raspberries fight back after ten minutes, I’m not sure they should be there
restaurant Palate
totally parallel. Kirsch, nutmeg, ham, cloves, marmalade, pencil shavings, strawberries, slivovitz, sloe, cinnamon, nutmeg, chocolate. Sounds cool, but there’s a bitterness in the background that’s not too pleasant to me
timer Finish
medium, very chocolaty. Cloves, pepper and nutmeg in the aftertaste, and then more kirsch
