Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오래 묵은 마호가니빛이 잔 속에 깊고 차분하게 잠겨 있다. 1958년 증류해 25년을 보낸 매캘란 애니버서리 몰트는 셰리의 시대가 빚어낸 한 잔이다. 첫 향은 말린 대추와 오렌지 마멀레이드, 묵은 가죽과 오래된 책장의 냄새가 겹겹이 피어오른다. 43도의 둥근 입맛에는 건포도와 호두, 흑설탕의 깊은 단맛이 천천히 번진다. 여운은 마른 셰리와 담뱃잎, 묵은 나무의 온기를 길게 남기며 한 시대의 품격을 조용히 증언한다.
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
