Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
아주 짙은 호박빛이 잔 바닥까지 깊게 머문다. 셰리 오크에서 서른다섯 해를 보낸 향은 유칼립투스와 송진이 먼저 솟고 설탕에 절인 오렌지와 옅은 연기가 뒤를 잇는다. 45.6도의 입 안은 크리미하게 열려 말린 배와 무화과, 향신료가 묵직하게 입을 채우고 페퍼민트의 서늘함이 사이를 가른다. 2025년에 병입된 1990년 빈티지답게 부드러운 타닌이 마지막을 정리한다. 여운은 길고 균형 잡혀 있으며 백후추가 오래 남는다.
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)
