Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
금빛이 잔 속에 은은하게 고인다. 1989년 원액을 열두 해 재워 2000년 캐든헤즈가 담은 이 맥캘란은 사탕수수 설탕 같은 단맛으로 부드럽게 열리고 죽과 곡물의 결이 뒤를 채운다. 46도의 입안은 향보다 힘이 세고 짭조름해 감초와 진하게 우린 얼그레이, 제비꽃 사탕의 맛이 겹친다. 여운은 길게 이어지며 호두의 쌉쌀함과 블랙베리 젤리의 단맛이 함께 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
sweeter and quite softer at first nosing, with indeed a little cane sugar this time (eh?) and much shier peatiness and smokiness. Even more mashed potatoes and grain in this one, the whole getting frankly porridgy after a moment, with even whiffs of horse sweat. Soft and wild at the same time
restaurant Palate
punchier and peatier than on the nose, slightly salty, with also quite some liquorice and earl grey tea (heavily infused). Hints of stout, violet sweets, blackberry jelly. Again this bitterness (more old walnuts here)
timer Finish
long, more ‘peaty and candied’. This one isn’t too winey, but one can feel it’s not ‘regular’ whisky and that ‘something’ happened. I liked the rum version’s cleanliness a little better I must say. 79 points . Another Roman label we made 'just for fun' a few years ago when that famous ‘fake Macallans’ issue occured. Benriach 12 yo 'Importanticus Fumosus' (46%, OB, Peated Port Finish, 2520 bottles, 2007) Do you spot ‘port’ in Importanticus?
