Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔에서는 잘 익은 말린 과일과 꿀, 오래된 오크 향이 또렷하게 올라온다. 1962 빈티지 맥캘란의 25년 숙성으로 올드 스타일 셰리의 깊은 향이 명확하게 드러난다. 팰럿은 건포도와 오렌지 껍질, 은은한 가죽이 발전하며 43도의 도수가 둥글고 우아한 균형을 잡는다. 피니시는 마른 향신료와 몰트의 단맛으로 길게 끌린다. 시대를 증언하는 클래식한 균형이 단단한 한 잔이다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
right. Tyres, old Jaguar, prunes and raisins, 19th century cognac (how useful is that descriptor, S.?), black truffle soup, old mead, old Montrachet (not very useful either, S.), touch of mint, touch of smoke. In short brilliant old Macallan. Isn’t it amazing that the whole reputation of the brand was only built on the utter quality of, say between 1940 and 1970 vintages? In a way, it’s like the pyramids of Egypt, they were built a long time ago but they’ve managed to keep their reputation (ooh, not sure about that one S.) Anyway, what a nose!
restaurant Palate
it’s all a play on honeys and other materials from a beehive, waxes, pollens, pinewood, propolis (these resinous touches)… And even a little paint. The nose was more complex and more spectacular, but this is still a fabulous whisky. It’s just a shame that they’ve always (partly) murdered these batches with those 43% vol. They could have gone to 46/80 proof, even if drinkers were more careful with higher strengths when this came out
timer Finish
medium, rounded, with a little chocolate and, more than everything else, bags of puréed chestnuts
