Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
밀짚빛이 잔 속에서 투명하게 비친다. 버번 호그스헤드에서 스무 해를 보낸 이 1989년 맥캘란은 셰리 숙성 형제들과 달리 바닐라의 폭발 없이 맑고 풀 같은 결로 열리며 사과와 배, 흰 복숭아에 은방울꽃과 라일락의 향이 얹힌다. 52.1도의 입안은 흙내와 시트러스가 어우러져 페퍼민트와 레몬, 로즈메리의 맛이 곧게 지난다. 여운은 길고 깨끗하며 끝에 아니스의 서늘함이 스친다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
no blast of vanilla here, rather a clean, grassy and delicately fruity profile, very contrasting with the two Italian sherried Macs. Mostly white garden fruits, apples, pears and white peaches, with whiffs of lilies of the valley and lilac. Nice clean profile but the whole’s a bit shyish. Let’s see what water will do to this baby. With water: oh, it closes up like a frightened oyster! It doesn’t like water at all (unlike oysters, yeah, yeah). Becomes oddly metallic
restaurant Palate
excellently earthy and citrusy, which is a profile that I like a lot. Quite some bitter herbs as well, cough syrup just as in the Silver Seal, peppermint, lemon, rosemary, a little candy sugar and in the end, just touches of aniseed. Playful yet clean and straight. With water: takes water better than on the nose but it’s still no Ian Thorpe. Gets extremely grassy and kind of prickly and metallic at the same time. Silver spoon?
timer Finish
long and, when neat, clean and fresh
