Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스페이강이 흐르는 풍요로운 스페이사이드 골짜기에서 빚어진 맥캘란 1939는 셰리 우드에서 37년을 보낸 고전이다. 잔에는 짙은 마호가니빛이 깊게 잠겨 있다. 오랜 셰리 숙성이 남긴 말린 무화과와 호두, 오래된 가죽의 향이 묵직하게 피어오른다. 43도의 부드러운 도수 속에서 입에서는 건포도와 흑설탕, 묵은 나무의 풍미가 천천히 입천장을 덮는다. 여운은 쌉쌀한 오크와 다크 초콜릿으로 은근하고 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
this one is rather different from the 1966, obviously woodier and more resinous and less on ‘classy sherry’ but it’s still very brilliant whisky on the nose. More smoke than in the 1966, with also bold whiffs of rhubarb pie, lemon marmalade, even ripe kiwis, oranges, metal (old toolbox), lovage and parsley… Gets a tad mouldy and plankish but nothing extreme, really. Great old Macallan once again
restaurant Palate
perfect! Curiously medicinal (cough medicine) but also very jammy, without the much feared excessive oakiness. Very pleasant ‘dry’ spiciness (cinnamon and nutmeg), something waxy, notes of limejuice (very fresh considering this one’s age) and a lot of liquorice. Gets finally very honeyed, with the same notes of mead as in the 1966
timer Finish
rather long and still quite ‘medicinally resinous’ for a Macallan, I guess it all comes from the wood. Aftertaste maybe a tad drying
