Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 천천히 돌리면 1958년 증류된 맥캘란이 셰리 캐스크에서 25년을 보낸 고운 앰버빛을 유리에 드리운다. 잔 위로 코를 기울이면 불붙이지 않은 시가와 호두, 오래된 가죽과 옅은 나무 연기가 겹겹이 올라온다. 한 모금을 입에 머금으면 43도의 부드러운 도수가 검은 건포도와 커피, 세비야 오렌지의 깊은 풍미로 번진다. 목을 넘긴 뒤에는 오래된 코냑의 랑시오와 다크 초콜릿, 오렌지가 오래 감돈다.
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
