Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔에 잠긴 짙은 호박빛이 1965년에 증류된 맥캘란 원액이 18년을 견딘 무게를 그대로 드러낸다. 노즈에는 잘 익은 무화과와 마른 자두, 옅은 가죽 향이 깊게 깃들어 있다. 입에서는 토피와 호두 껍질, 빻은 후추가 두꺼운 질감으로 흐르고 43도의 부드러운 알코올이 단정한 균형을 잡는다. 1984년에 병입된 스페이사이드 맥캘란 특유의 묵직한 단맛이 마지막 여운까지 길게 이어진다.

this is why we weren’t liking it too much, it’s pretty un-Macallan despite these nice fudge-y/smoke-y touches. A lot of cakes for sure, Jaffas, burnt kougelhopf, caramel, black nougat… Gets then much more floral, which is rather Macallan indeed this time, with some jasmine and even violets, as well as some dried fruits, mainly figs. Improves with oxygen, I would say – less a shock than when it came out. In other words, we got used to these styles of Macallan since the early 2000s

well, after an okay arrival it tends to get a little rough, without much of that trademark silkiness from times gone by, fewer dried fruits, and rather some gritty oakiness, pepper, cinnamon… A little burnt caramel and coffee, and lastly, touches of marmalade that really save it (and us). Good body at 43%, though
timer Finish
medium, grassy and peppery, rough
