Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 키르슈와 자두 브랜디의 스피릿감이 먼저 드러나고, 육두구와 생강 같은 오크 향신료, 마멀레이드와 파이프 담배의 전통적 셰리 뉘앙스가 층을 이룬다. 60년을 호그스헤드에서 보낸 1926 빈티지 스페이사이드답게 팰럿은 정향과 시나몬, 초콜릿이 겹치며 딸기와 키르슈의 과실이 살아 있다. 42.6도지만 구조가 단단하고, 피니시는 미디엄 길이로 정향과 후추, 초콜릿의 쌉쌀함이 길게 발전한다.
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
