Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
셰리 캐스크 피니시가 27년 묵은 맥캘란에 마지막으로 진한 건과일 단맛을 입혔다. 향에서는 말린 자두와 오렌지 껍질, 오래된 가죽이 겹겹이 피어오른다. 입에서는 45.7도의 도수가 흑설탕과 정향, 호두를 끌고 부드럽게 입을 채운다. 블랙애더가 여과 없이 담아낸 이 1989년 빈티지는 짙은 호박빛을 내며, 여운에는 마른 향신료와 쌉쌀한 카카오가 따뜻하게 오래 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
perhaps weren’t those the best years anymore already, but I’m finding this nose pretty perfect, wonderfully nutty at first nosing, with roasted peanuts (a marker) and pecans as well as this tight smoke. Then mead, preserved peaches and apricots, honey (late-season heather honey, really) and then this rather perfect maltiness, with touches of miso and ham. Almost forgot to mention menthol, which is rather old-Macallan too. Superb nose
restaurant Palate
the oak’s a tad loud at first (bitter leaves and leather) but coffee and tobacco are soon to take over, while the expected marmalade and sultanas are sticking their heads out. It all turns out just fine in the end, even if it remains a tad leafier than usual
timer Finish
long, still very leafy, a notch bitter (Campari-ish). A little burnt caramel and drops of Guinness
