Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 천천히 돌리면 1984년 맥캘란의 깊은 호박빛이 잔 벽을 느리게 적시며 내린다. 코를 가져가면 셰리 오크가 빚은 잘 익은 건자두와 오렌지 껍질, 가벼운 향신료가 우아하게 번진다. 한 모금 머금으면 43도의 부드러운 기운이 혀를 감싸고 말린 과일과 꿀의 단맛이 잔잔히 퍼진다. 18년 셰리 숙성을 따라가듯 삼키면 농익은 과실과 오크의 단맛이 혀끝에 오래 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
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
restaurant Palate
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
