Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
퍼스트필 셰리 시즌드 유러피언 오크에서 15년을 보낸 숙성이 맥캘란 특유의 짙은 단맛을 빚어냈다. 코끝에는 말린 과일과 오렌지, 진한 초콜릿 향이 묵직하게 올라온다. 43도의 도수 속에서 건포도와 토피, 정향의 풍미가 매끄럽게 입을 채운다. 셰리 숙성의 대명사인 맥캘란답게 풍부한 과실미와 향신료가 균형을 이룬다. 짙은 적갈색 끝에 흑설탕과 구운 오크가 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
great nose, with something of old Macallan of, well, of old. Some burnt wood, toffee, pecan pie, brown toasts, a drop of molasses, then more and more maltiness that would come together with a few floral notes (meadow flowers), thick ale and butterscotch. A minimally salty smokiness
restaurant Palate
very good drop, no questions. There's the traditional Macallan complexity that quite a few recent bottlings had forgotten about, with some spicy marmalade, chestnut and heather honeys, pancake sauce, drop of miso soup, dried apricots, apricot jam, mirabelle jam, all that while the honeyness keeps growing. Do they have beehives at the mothership? I mean, at the Distillery?
timer Finish
pretty long, honeyed and toffee-ed. The expected coffee/chocolate/marmalade trio in the aftertaste
