Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 견과의 고소함과 옅은 버터 질감으로 시작해 금귤과 시트론 같은 시트러스, 건포도와 무화과로 이어진다. 액체 상태의 프루트케이크라 부를 만하며 파이프 담배와 훈제 햄이 뒤늦게 올라온다. 팰럿은 초반에 살짝 비누 같은 결을 보이다가 홍차와 오크, 마른 스파이스와 커피 원두로 둥글게 정리된다. 피니시는 길고 트리플섹과 무화과가 남으며 정향이 끝맛을 맺는다. 30년 리필 배럴의 완성도가 높다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
there's one Macallan that I'll always keep in my mind, it is the older 30 years old blue-label/blue-box, despite all the fakes that abound. This is similar. Wonderful nuttiness, a wee buttery – not butyric - side that's adding texture to the nose, plus a lot of citrus, from kumquats to citrons, and raisins, figs and dates. I'll say it, it's pretty much liquid fruitcake this far. Tiny touches of pipe tobacco, cured ham and prunes popping out after a few minutes
restaurant Palate
it does saponify a wee bit as soon as you get it in your mouth, only to get then rounder although closer to tea and oak, with dry spices, coffee beans, dark chocolate and just torrefaction. Chewing honeycomb, A.K.A. the beekeepers' chewing gum. Orange blossom water
timer Finish
long and more on triple-sec, coffee and figs, which I find very Macallan too. Clove in the aftertaste
