Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
깊은 적갈색이 잔에 그윽하게 어린다. 스페이사이드 매캘란이 1966년 셰리 캐스크에서 18년을 보낸 이 전설적인 빈티지는, 옛 시절의 진한 셰리 풍미를 고스란히 간직했다. 향에는 건포도와 말린 무화과, 가죽과 묵은 오크의 향이 짙게 솟아오른다. 한 모금에는 흑설탕과 호두, 오렌지 껍질의 풍미가 부드럽게 번지고, 43도의 도수가 깊이를 단정하게 받친다. 반세기를 넘긴 위스키다운 우아한 깊이가 또렷하며, 여운에는 마른 과일과 향신료의 잔향이 길게 잠긴다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold (no caramel!)
air Nose
ah, for crying out loud, yesss! Fantastic cakes of various origins, especially peach pies, pecan pies, Linzertorte, panettone, etc etc etc. You get the idea. Some honeys as well (it’s almost as if they had added a few hoggies of Highland Park while no one was watching), a touch of menthol, a wee hint of Cuban tobacco, and possibly some vanilla-ed chestnut purée. Obvious and luminous (S.!)
restaurant Palate
t.h.e.r.e. Well done. Malt, dried fruits, fresh ones, tobacco, proper milk chocolate, many cakes, and simply a feeling of joy
timer Finish
it’s where it’ll lose one or two points because of some kind of grittiness that’s a little unnecessary. But I guess you cannot have all these oaks without suffering from a little over-oakiness
