Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코끝에 가져가면 진한 육수와 다크 초콜릿이 먼저 밀려오고 올로로소 셰리의 결이 그 뒤를 감싼다. 흔들수록 건포도와 육포 호두 빵 껍질 그리고 재 냄새가 겹겹이 나타난다. 54.9도의 한 모금은 강건하게 입을 채우며 토피와 감초 훈제 햄 건자두를 남긴다. 삼킨 뒤에는 소금기와 발사믹이 길게 이어지고 살구 리큐어가 코로 되돌아온다. 카덴헤드가 담은 18년 숙성 맥캘란이다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark amber
air Nose
starts on beef stock and dark chocolate, more oloroso than the olorosoest of all olorosos and gets then extremely complex, with no obvious aromas standing out anymore. It’s rather an assemblage of myriads of tiny notes, such as raisins, beef jerky, milk chocolate, walnuts, bread crust, burnt caramel, rum, strawberry jam, ash smoke, ham, wine sauce, toffee, kirsch, coffee, bacon, moss, mushrooms… Agreed, what a litany! Oh, and maybe cooking turnips
restaurant Palate
well, the first feeling we get is ‘old Macallan!’ It’s big, robust whisky and really, it’s very Macallan (I know this is of little use, sorry.) Smyrna raisins, toffee, liquorice, smoked ham, prunes, coffee… Oh well, you see what I mean. Very Macallan indeed and this is adorable, even if it does get just a tad dryish after a moment
timer Finish
long, a tad rawer now, salty and balsamic but also more candied and fruity at the retro-olfaction (apricot liqueur)
