Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스페이강이 흐르는 비옥한 스페이사이드의 완만한 구릉이 맥캘란 특유의 무르익은 과실미를 길러낸다. 1965년 증류해 25년을 셰리 캐스크에서 보낸 이 위스키는 깊은 적갈색을 띤다. 향은 말린 무화과와 오렌지 껍질, 오래된 가죽이 진하게 피어오르고, 한 모금엔 건포도와 호두, 다크초콜릿이 43도의 우아한 질감으로 감긴다. 여운은 셰리의 단맛과 은은한 향신료가 길게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
same territories as the ‘Pride’, only rather rounder, more candied, and with more dried fruits, including bananas, pears, raisins… Cigars are obvious too in this ‘buy-this-or-buy-a-small-car’ whisky. Rhubarb tarte, with meringue on top of it, and much less sherry than you would think. A wee whiff of wood smoke
restaurant Palate
really similar to the 1937, which rather comes as a surprise. Once again we’re a little in cognac territories (did Michael Jackson ever write about cognac? I cannot remember…) with ripe fresh fruits everywhere, juicy raisins, overripe apples, oranges, and then more and more tropical fruits, rather around ripe bananas. It’s the freshness that’s impressive here, first and foremost, as well as the way it tends to turn more herbal and dry, in a magnificent way. Teas and tobaccos
timer Finish
medium, on some kind of spicy marmalade, with a stunning freshness
