Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
연어살 같은 옅은 분홍빛이 잔에 감돈다. 와인 캐스크의 개입이 향을 풀밭 쪽으로 밀어내고 그 위에 붉은 베리와 작약이 조심스럽게 얹히며 옅은 연기가 스친다. 61.3도의 입 안은 훨씬 대담해서 석류 시럽과 모과 잼, 빌베리 파이와 라즈베리 오드비가 빽빽하게 밀려든다. 여덟 해라는 짧은 숙성에 와인의 잼 같은 단맛이 겹쳐 매캘런의 본래 얼굴은 다소 가려진다. 여운은 뜨겁고 달며 메이플 시럽과 브리오슈의 잔향이 오래 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
salmony
air Nose
what’s rather funny here is that the addition of the whisky and the wine cask probably create sort of an extra dimension here, and that that dimension is rather grassy. Other than that we do get hints of red fruits and peonies but that’s very discreet (not sure the HB casks were first fill). Little ‘vinosity’ as such. A little smoke and hints of cat coat
restaurant Palate
more wine now, and also a bigger spirit it seems. Grenadine, quince jam, bilberry pie, honey, raspberry eau-de-vie (guess where the best ones come from?), cornflakes, maple syrup, brioche, baklavas... This is kind of orgiastic I must say. A rather extreme ‘jamminess’, where poor Macallan is rather muzzled, but the end result is interesting and certainly likeable to many people. But it just isn’t a Macallan anymore on the palate, I’d say (whilst it was on the nose) – now, if you like wine finished whiskies, you’ll like this one for sure
