Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔에 맑은 금빛이 오랜 세월의 무게와 함께 고인다. 스페이사이드 맥캘란을 1964년 증류해 호그스헤드에서 37년 숙성한 이 전설적인 보틀링은, 코끝에 피노 셰리의 견과와 절인 오렌지, 석탄과 이탄이 만드는 마른 연기, 흑연과 타르의 향이 켜켜이 얽힌다. 58.2도의 한 모금은 말린 과일과 금귤, 프랄린과 감초가 혀 위에서 폭발하듯 번지며 복잡함 너머의 힘을 드러낸다. 여운은 허브와 잎사귀의 결이 오래도록 깊게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour

air Nose
yes, a leafy, leathery peat is roaring in the background but other than that, we’re rather close to the 1958, with this fino-ness that comes with bags of almonds and walnuts. The crystallised oranges are there as well, something a little metallic (and yes it was a cork) and then a growing smoke involving coal, wood and peat. Also some graphite oil, linseed, tar, a little motor oil, turpentine… It’s not the ‘widest’ old Macallan at this point but the smoky dryness is wonderful. Remember this one was only 15 years old at time of bottling. After twenty minutes: good news, more kumquats and raisins
restaurant Palate
oh wow! Literally explodes on your tongue, with myriads of tiny dried fruits, liqueurs and herbal teas, all coated with peat smoke. Where to start? Oranges, that’s done. Then various raisins, citrus fruits (yes, kumquats), candied fruits (all of them, like in a perfect cassata), some praline, glazed chestnuts, little coffee drops, some malt, some tar, some strong cough drops, some liquorice… And wheelbarrows of other tinier elements. What’s really striking is the power beyond the complexity. Big phat old-skool malt whisky!
timer Finish
long, with the herbal/leafy side coming more to the fore. Bee propolis
