Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
짙은 다크 앰버가 잔 속에 깊게 고여 있다. 1973년 빈티지의 올드 매캘런답게 향은 셰리의 무화과와 대추야자, 건포도가 모카와 다크 초콜릿으로 이어지고 석탄 연기가 옛 시대의 그림자를 드리운다. 입안은 부드럽기보다 거칠게 포효하며 자두 오드비와 커피, 마르는 듯한 탄닌이 팽팽하게 버틴다. 43도의 절제 속에서 여운은 자두와 초콜릿, 마멀레이드와 생강으로 길게 번진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark amber
air Nose
sherry galore, and that would rather be figs, dates, Corinthian raisins, mocha, and dark chocolate, then smoked ham and touches of flints, plus a little coal smoke. No, quite a lot of coal smoke. There’s some old Macallan in there for sure, the smoke gives that away. Tends to become more and more armagnacky (!), with even more raisins but also prunes
restaurant Palate
it still roars, and it’s definitely not a smooth, lazily rounded Macallan. I’d even say it’s a little rough around the edges, with some plum eau-de-vie in coffee, as well as a gritty, slightly drying tannicity. Like in 80%-chocolate. I’m not quite in awe, some sides remind me of the old 10 yo circa the same years. Something feels ‘young’, but it’s very good sherried whisky, no doubt about that
timer Finish
I like the finish better, it’s very prune-y and chocolaty. Marmalade and ginger in the aftertaste
