Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
버섯과 오래된 가죽이 향의 문을 연다. 낡은 구리 주전자 같은 금속성 뉘앙스가 뒤따르고 발사 목재와 구두약이 층을 더하며 오래된 병에서 나올 법한 분위기를 만든다. 45.4도의 팰럿은 힘이 있고 후추 같은 매운맛과 금속성이 함께 드러나며 밤 퓌레와 계피, 쌉쌀한 캐러멜이 순서대로 발전한다. 피니시는 길고 나무의 쓴맛이 앞서며 호두 껍질과 프로방스 허브가 남는다. 현행 맥캘란과는 결이 다른 1969년 증류다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark amber
air Nose
starts with many mushrooms and some old leather, plus whiffs of old copper kettle. Some charming OBE to be found, this one really noses as if it was mostly old bottles that have been re-decanterised (!). Also balsa wood, going towards shoe polish
restaurant Palate
powerful, rather peppery, and always quite metallic (copper again). We’re rather far away from the distillery’s contemporary style? Chestnut purée, cinnamon, white pepper, a little bitter caramel. I suppose they added some younger whiskies to make it a little brighter and less dry/drying. Some shoe polish to be found again
timer Finish
slightly bitter and woody, long, with some chlorophyll and walnut stain. Provence herbs in the aftertaste
