Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
맑은 황금빛이 잔에 은은하게 어린다. 스페이사이드 매캘런 18년은 세 종류의 캐스크에서 숙성되어 케이크와 캐러멜, 검은 누가의 달콤함에 재스민과 제비꽃의 꽃향이 스민다. 입에 넣으면 초반의 부드러움 뒤로 오크의 까끌한 결과 후추, 계피가 드러나고 볶은 커피와 오렌지 마멀레이드가 43도의 몸통 위에서 균형을 잡는다. 여운은 중간 길이로 풀향과 후추가 또렷이 깃들어 있다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
this is why we weren’t liking it too much, it’s pretty un-Macallan despite these nice fudge-y/smoke-y touches. A lot of cakes for sure, Jaffas, burnt kougelhopf, caramel, black nougat… Gets then much more floral, which is rather Macallan indeed this time, with some jasmine and even violets, as well as some dried fruits, mainly figs. Improves with oxygen, I would say – less a shock than when it came out. In other words, we got used to these styles of Macallan since the early 2000s
restaurant Palate
well, after an okay arrival it tends to get a little rough, without much of that trademark silkiness from times gone by, fewer dried fruits, and rather some gritty oakiness, pepper, cinnamon… A little burnt caramel and coffee, and lastly, touches of marmalade that really save it (and us). Good body at 43%, though
timer Finish
medium, grassy and peppery, rough
