Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오랜 시간이 응축된 짙은 호박빛이 잔 속에 깊이 자리한다. 1965년에 증류된 매캘란 25년은 노쇠한 셰리 캐릭터를 가장 단정한 방식으로 보여주는데, 잔을 가까이 하면 말린 살구와 오렌지 껍질, 광택을 잃지 않은 가죽이 풀려 나온다. 입에 머금으면 흑설탕과 호두, 가벼운 정향이 또렷이 깃들어 있고, 43도의 절제된 도수가 산만함을 허락하지 않는다. 잔향은 마른 무화과와 옅은 담배잎으로 길게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold, just a tad darker than the 8yo
air Nose
very similar, just a little less mashy but a tad oakier, with a little more vanilla and warm butter. Slightly rounder and more caramelised – and civilized. No comments on Japanese climate I’m afraid but I like this better than the 8 yo on the nose
restaurant Palate
the same happens on the palate, the attack is quite nice, caramelized, nutty and vanilled but it all falls apart after that, with just these tannins remaining, as well as a little cardboard and a little salt plus hints of liquorice. The finish isn’t quite as nonexistent as the 8yo’s but frankly, there isn’t much happening here. Certainly not a samurai: 72 points . Now, the good news is that you don’t even need to rinse your glass before you pour yourself another whisky.
