Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코앞에 두고 숨을 들이켜면 말린 무화과와 살구가 먼저 인사하고 사과 콤포트와 자두 푸딩이 뒤를 잇는다. 43도로 병입된 덕분에 향의 골격이 흔들리지 않고 데메라라 설탕과 퍼지가 단단하게 받쳐준다. 한 모금 머금으면 금귤과 귤, 대추, 사과가 차례로 열리고 꿀과 메이플 시럽, 초콜릿이 그 위에 얹힌다. 삼키면 후추 뿌린 세비야 오렌지와 정향이 짧지만 정확하게 마무리를 짓는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark gold
air Nose
once again, it is rather 'old-school Macallan' while we're no longer too worried that the palate might be too light and too unbalanced by the wood since this baby has been bottled at 43% ABV. The difference is enormous between 40 and 43, we all know that. We find the usual dried and fresh figs, the apricots, some dried pears (slices), some high-end apple compote, various raisins, plum pudding, treacle toffee, kumquats and bergamots, some Demerara sugar, caramel and fudge… Nutshell: all is well
restaurant Palate
there's much more happening in this one, the oak doesn't quite get in the way and the fruits in all their forms have plenty of room to express themselves. Kumquats, raisins, tangerines, figs, jujubes, apples, then honey, maple syrup and chocolate, the latter becoming then a little bitter and drying, which comes from the oak I would suppose. No big deal, it's an excellent one. Also a little meatiness ala M**** (another 'M', a.k.a. the beast of Dufftown)
timer Finish
still a little short and dry, but these peppered Seville oranges and these cloves do really work. Hints of honeysuckle
