Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가볍게 흔들면 옅은 금빛이 얇게 퍼진다. 코를 가져가면 잘 익은 사과와 딸기, 구스베리 같은 붉은 과일이 먼저 인사하고 뒤이어 생강과 계피, 레몬과 키위의 새콤함이 올라온다. 42.8도로 낮아진 서른 해짜리를 한 모금 머금으면 나무의 떫은맛 대신 말린 오렌지와 모과 젤리, 마지팬이 이어진다. 셰리 없이 버번 호그스헤드만으로 이만한 과일을 낸 점이 인상적이다. 삼킨 뒤에는 절인 레몬 껍질이 남는다.

Colour
gold
air Nose
it seems that this old Macallan is a very fruity one. Starts on some rather beautiful notes of ripe apples and strawberries, goseberries and even raspberries, and gets then much spicy/oaky (ginger, cinnamon, aniseed). Its also a little bubblegummy, which is sort of funny. Keeps developing for quite some time after that, getting more ‘acidulated’ (lemon, kiwi, tangerines), with also quite some vanilla. Very pleasant, let’s hope the palate won’t be too drying and woody. By the way, no sherry whatsoever in this one. Reminds me of the times when we had to rely on independent bottlers to be able to try unsherried Macallans
restaurant Palate
very good news, this one isn’t too oaky despite its age and the very low strength. No tannins infusion, rather some beautiful notes of dried oranges, dried ginger, figs, quince jelly (luv’ that) and marzipan plus crystallised lemon zests and vanilla fudge. A few tea-ish notes from the wood but it’s more an asset here. Excellent old whisky
timer Finish
medium long but rather complex, a bit woodier now, faintly sour but also more candied and toffee-ish
