Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
셰리 우드가 1939년 맥캘란 증류액을 30년 동안 묵직하게 길들인 결과가 잔 안에 깊은 골동의 향으로 자리한다. 향에서는 잘 익은 건자두와 호두, 묵은 가죽이 또렷이 드러나고 캐스크의 흔적인 옅은 곰팡이향과 발사믹 산미가 뒤따른다. 입에서는 무화과 잼과 다크 초콜릿, 정향의 진한 단맛이 부드럽게 흐른다. 43도의 절제된 알코올이 흩어지지 않고 짙은 마호가니색이 잔에 깊게 비친다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
it seems that this old Macallan is a very fruity one. Starts on some rather beautiful notes of ripe apples and strawberries, goseberries and even raspberries, and gets then much spicy/oaky (ginger, cinnamon, aniseed). Its also a little bubblegummy, which is sort of funny. Keeps developing for quite some time after that, getting more ‘acidulated’ (lemon, kiwi, tangerines), with also quite some vanilla. Very pleasant, let’s hope the palate won’t be too drying and woody. By the way, no sherry whatsoever in this one. Reminds me of the times when we had to rely on independent bottlers to be able to try unsherried Macallans
restaurant Palate
very good news, this one isn’t too oaky despite its age and the very low strength. No tannins infusion, rather some beautiful notes of dried oranges, dried ginger, figs, quince jelly (luv’ that) and marzipan plus crystallised lemon zests and vanilla fudge. A few tea-ish notes from the wood but it’s more an asset here. Excellent old whisky
timer Finish
medium long but rather complex, a bit woodier now, faintly sour but also more candied and toffee-ish
