Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 1962년 증류해 25년을 보낸 매캘란 특유의 진한 셰리 향이 건포도와 말린 자두로 먼저 두드러진다. 오래된 오크에서 온 가죽과 마른 향신료가 뒤를 받친다. 입에서는 43도의 도수가 흑설탕과 호두, 다크초콜릿을 부드럽게 펼친다. 올드 스타일 매캘란다운 깊은 셰리 단맛이 중심을 잡는다. 피니시는 마른 과일과 오크, 옅은 향신료의 여운이 길게 이어지며 오랜 숙성의 균형이 단단하다.
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
