Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 유칼립투스와 수지 향이 이례적으로 빠르게 올라오는 구성이다. 옅은 페놀과 연기가 뒤따르고 설탕에 절인 오렌지가 셰리의 결을 선명하게 만든다. 팰럿은 크리미하게 열리며 마른 과일과 향신료, 케이크의 단맛이 순서대로 발전한다. 중반 이후 페퍼민트와 흰 후추, 부드러운 타닌이 균형을 잡는다. 피니시는 중간 이상 길이로 대담하면서도 흐트러짐이 없다. 20년을 채운 1990년 빈티지의 완성도가 높다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep amber - much darker than the old one, see picture above
air Nose
bolder, and more spectacular attack, with the eucalyptus and resin coming much sooner. More phenolic, with whiffs of smoke. Lots of crystallised orange. Some really great sherry in there… A beautiful nose, bolder, with more oomph than its older version. Wow!
restaurant Palate
oh, this has just nothing to do with the ‘old’ 30 yo . A bold, creamy attack, on lots of sherry, dried fruits (all kinds, pear, orange, fig…), spices, cake… Close to the greatest old Macallan 18 yo distilled in the seventies. Great notes of eucalyptus and peppermint, and some soft tannins and white pepper. Beautiful. The finish is medium long, but bold and balanced. What’s sure is that this new 30 yo is just another whisky. It turns out that they managed to turn their formerly overlooked 30 yo into a benchmark malt, congrats ! 90 points . November 22, 2004 MUSIC - Recommended listening: highly skilled French pop composer Benjamin Biolay sings ' Les Cerfs-Volants ' (Paperkites - mp3). Some say he's Serge Gainsbourg's spiritual son... Benjamin is also Chiara Mastroianni's husband (picture, right) - and Chiara is the daughter of Catherine Deneuve (picture, left) and Marcello Mastroianni. Yes, Benjamin is the guy on the middle of the picture. Lucky one. Please buy his music! TASTING - THREE NEW INDIE MACALLANS Macallan 1990/2004 Rum Finish (46%, Wilson & Morgan)
