Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 잼과 파이프 담배의 조합으로 시작한다. 망고 처트니와 살구 잼, 파파야와 리치, 귤이 층층이 명확하게 드러나고 인동꽃 같은 뉘앙스가 배경을 잡는다. 팰럿은 진하고 입안을 감싸며 담뱃잎과 가죽 위로 말린 과일의 단맛이 얹힌다. 물을 더하면 설타나와 살구, 자두에 옅은 장뇌 기운이 겹친다. 피니시는 매우 길고 흠잡을 데가 없다. 럼 피니시를 거친 1989년 원액이 예상 밖의 밀도를 보여준다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber gold
air Nose
jams and pipe tobaccos. How very Macallan (at that time). Fantastic, as expected. Mango chutney, apricot jam, papayas, hessian, juicy sultanas, litchis, honeysuckle, tangerines, all that playing in perfect sync. This was kept in proper sherry casks, whatever that used to mean in the 1960s. Very little smoke this time, having said that. With water: this very peculiar earthiness, a bit brandy-like I have to say (shh), absolutely wonderful if a little rough. Otherwise, orange blossom and tobacco
restaurant Palate
rich, coating, smokier this time, extremely tobacco-y, slightly leathery, and full of crazy jams and dried fruits. We had a thing in France called ‘confiture de vieux garçon’ into which culprits would have thrown just any fruits and spirits, as in a living bottle or jar. This is reminiscent of that. With water: the kind of juice that made this brand really famous. Sultanas, apricots, plums and quinces, with a thin camphory/mentholy layer that absolutely thrilling. What a jam. I mean, what a whisky
timer Finish
very long, very perfect. There
