Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 곡물감과 연기가 가장 먼저 두드러지고 곧 부싯돌과 성냥, 석탄 화덕 같은 광물성 뉘앙스로 넘어간다. 젖은 건초가 배경에 깔려 1974년 증류 원액치고 이례적인 인상을 만든다. 팰럿은 단맛과 함께 두껍게 시작하지만 이내 레몬 씨앗과 농축된 레몬즙의 날카로움이 앞으로 나온다. 50.2도의 도수에서 쓴맛이 시간이 갈수록 강해진다. 피니시는 길고 스피릿과 레몬 제스트가 또렷이 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale white wine
air Nose
powerful, starting very grainy and smoky, getting rather mineral after a while, with very present notes of gunflint, matchsticks and coal oven. Also hints of freshly cut grass and wet hay. Sort of rough but interestingly smoky for a recent Macallan
restaurant Palate
sweet and full-bodied attack, very youngish this time. Something acrid, alas. Some smoke again but not too much, the whole developing on lemon seeds, concentrated lemon juice, with something Sugarish in the background. Not too ‘Macallanish’, whatever that means nowadays. Gets also bitterer with time
timer Finish
long, on spirit and lemon zests. In short, it’s rather sharp but not exactly unbalanced, and the nose was quite interesting. 80 points . Macallan 1974/2001 (50.5%, Scott's Selection)
