Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들면 호박빛이 두껍게 감기고 럼에 절인 건포도 냄새가 곧장 올라온다. 코를 가져가면 구운 빵과 세비야 오렌지, 초콜릿에 이어 화약과 흙, 시가와 가죽이 차례로 드러나 꽤 건조한 인상을 만든다. 한 모금 머금으면 볶은 견과와 맥아, 프루트케이크와 금귤이 밀려들며 초반부터 힘이 좋다. 삼킨 뒤에는 말린 과일과 쓴 오렌지가 짧지만 깔끔하게 남고 정향이 마지막을 정리한다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
a lot of rum and raisins at first nosing, some toasted bread, Seville oranges, chocolate, a little gunpowder, then earth, cigars and leather… It’s all rather aromatic and quite dry, I think the gunpowder wasn’t that obvious in earlier versions of the 18 (say pre-2000). A little bacon as well
restaurant Palate
it does remind me of the ‘old’ Macallans, which is great news. A lot of roasted nuts, malt, Corinthian raisins, the famous fruitcake, kumquats, tobacco… Frankly, this is good stuff and the attack was relatively bold, but it all becomes slightly thin around the middle. Maybe it’s time to go for 45 or 46%?
timer Finish
rather short but clean, very pleasantly on dried fruits and, above all, bitter oranges. A little wook smoke and cloves in the aftertaste
