Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오랜 세월이 응축된 짙은 호박빛이 잔 속에 깊게 잠겨 있다. 1976년에 증류되어 27년을 보낸 맥캘란답게 향에서는 잘 익은 무화과와 가죽, 마른 오크가 천천히 피어오른다. 입에 머금으면 건포도와 다크초콜릿, 오렌지 껍질의 쌉싸름한 단맛이 차례로 번진다. 스페이사이드의 노숙한 품격이 한 모금마다 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 여운에는 묵은 향신료와 달콤한 셰리의 잔향이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
it does focus on wood indeed, but I have the feeling that it’s still under control. Pleasant maltiness, complemented with, indeed, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, baking spices, vanilla, cappuccino, burnt raisins, toasted oak, and roasted nuts. A little chocolate as well (brownies)
restaurant Palate
it’s decent, but it’s too much on the oaky side for me. And we’re not talking subtle old oak from long ageing here. More cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, white pepper… This is really spicy! Then walnuts and more toasted oak, as well as bitter cocoa and Jaffa cake
timer Finish
medium, chocolaty, toasted, cinnamony. Nutmeg singing loud in the aftertaste
