Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 소고기 육수와 다크초콜릿으로 시작해 올로로소 셰리의 색채가 진하게 깔린다. 건포도와 호두, 빵 껍질과 태운 캐러멜이 촘촘히 얽혀 하나의 향만 도드라지지 않을 만큼 복합적이다. 팰럿은 크고 단단하다. 스미르나 건포도와 토피, 감초, 훈연 햄이 이어지고 시간이 지나며 살짝 드라이해진다. 피니시는 길고 짭짤하며 살구 리큐어의 단맛이 되돌아온다. 55.4도 오크 캐스크 원액다운 밀도다.
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)
