Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 1958 빈티지 맥캘란의 묵은 셰리가 입힌 무화과 잼, 다크 초콜릿, 가죽, 묵은 오렌지가 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 팰럿은 43도 보디 위에 캐러멜라이즈드 무화과, 호두, 묵은 셰리가 명확하게 드러나며 25년 숙성과 1984년 보틀링의 시대적 구조감이 단단하다. 피니시는 다크 토피와 가죽이 길게 이어진다. The Anniversary Malt가 보존한 60년대 맥캘란의 명성이 또렷한 25년이다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
well, it’s one of these old Macallans that reek of Havana cigars – unlit of course. No sweet sherry here and no Christmas cake, we’re rather on old walnuts, vin jaune, manzanilla (and big time!), old leather jacket and then various precious woods and the polishes that come with them. Oh, and there IS a little wood smoke as well. In short, a wonderfully dry and almost leafy nose. After twenty minutes: the dried fruits come out, together with some mocha and motor oil. Same colours anyway ;-)
restaurant Palate
bang, everything comes at the same time, which is quite unusual with these old whiskies. Black raisins, coffee, old cognac (rancio), tobacco, a little tar, blackcurrant liqueur and, should I add of course, the trademark Seville oranges. Some heather honey as well but then it just wouldn’t change. It’s not really full bodied in fact and it’s even a little light by today’s standards, but what a glorious combination!
timer Finish
not extremely long and all in keeping with the arrival, so it just never changes. Or when linearity is stunning. Having said that, it’s rather more on the orangey side in the aftertaste. Maybe more chocolate as well
