Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
향은 고기 육수와 다크 초콜릿에서 출발해 곧 특정 아로마가 도드라지지 않는 복합적 상태로 넘어간다. 건포도와 육포, 호두와 빵 껍질, 태운 캐러멜과 재 냄새가 미세하게 뒤엉킨다. 54.9도의 팰럿은 크고 견고하며 스미르나 건포도와 토피, 감초와 훈제 햄이 순서대로 발전한다. 중반 이후 약간 건조해지지만 흠은 아니다. 피니시는 길고 짭짤하며 발사믹과 살구 리큐어의 잔향이 남는다. 옛 스타일이 또렷한 1986년 빈티지다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark amber
air Nose
starts on beef stock and dark chocolate, more oloroso than the olorosoest of all olorosos and gets then extremely complex, with no obvious aromas standing out anymore. It’s rather an assemblage of myriads of tiny notes, such as raisins, beef jerky, milk chocolate, walnuts, bread crust, burnt caramel, rum, strawberry jam, ash smoke, ham, wine sauce, toffee, kirsch, coffee, bacon, moss, mushrooms… Agreed, what a litany! Oh, and maybe cooking turnips
restaurant Palate
well, the first feeling we get is ‘old Macallan!’ It’s big, robust whisky and really, it’s very Macallan (I know this is of little use, sorry.) Smyrna raisins, toffee, liquorice, smoked ham, prunes, coffee… Oh well, you see what I mean. Very Macallan indeed and this is adorable, even if it does get just a tad dryish after a moment
timer Finish
long, a tad rawer now, salty and balsamic but also more candied and fruity at the retro-olfaction (apricot liqueur)
