Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코앞으로 가져가면 오래된 방식의 셰리가 마른 무화과와 배 말랭이로 먼저 다가온다. 조금 기다리면 당밀 토피와 베르가못, 캐러멜이 겹쳐 오르며 짙은 금빛 외관과 어울리는 두께를 만든다. 43도를 한 모금 머금으면 오크가 앞을 막지 않아 금귤과 대추, 사과가 각자 자리를 잡고 꿀과 초콜릿이 그 위를 덮는다. 삼키면 정향과 쓴 오렌지가 짧게 스치고 인동꽃 향이 마지막에 얼핏 남는다.
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
