Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
맑은 금빛이 잔 속에 고요히 잠겨 있다. 블라스모르가 1989년 원액을 버번 캐스크에서 스물일곱 해 지켜 2017년에 담은 이 맥캘란은 볶은 땅콩과 피칸의 고소함으로 문을 열고 벌꿀주와 조린 복숭아, 옅은 멘톨이 뒤를 잇는다. 46도의 입안은 처음엔 오크의 떫은 잎사귀가 앞서지만 곧 커피와 담뱃잎, 마멀레이드가 자리를 넘겨받는다. 여운은 길고 쌉쌀하며 탄 캐러멜의 결이 끝까지 남는다.
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
