Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가까이 하면 말린 과일과 차 잎, 아로마틱 허브가 서로를 밀어내지 않고 겹쳐진 향이 명확하게 드러난다. 특정 향이 앞서기보다 전체가 하나의 두꺼운 층으로 읽히는 유형이다. 셰리 우드에서 35년을 보낸 1941년 맥캘란답게 팰럿은 훈연과 육류, 향신료, 말린 자두가 동시에 밀려들며 힘이 실린다. 43도지만 밀도는 충분하고 커피와 감초가 중심을 지탱한다. 피니시는 탄닌 쪽으로 살짝 마르지만 뒷맛의 커피 향이 오래 남는다.

air Nose
bottle ageing did wonders on this one – unless it was already greatly complex back in 1978? It is these bottles that built the legend of Macallan. Especially the complexity is astounding, we’re in great old wine territories. It’s actually not easy to describe because there are many aromas but none is dominant. We rather experience a feeling of fullness here. All right, if you really want to know, I’d say it’s got all dried fruits and teas and soft spices and aromatic herbs. Oops, almost forgot beef stock and chicken soup
restaurant Palate
oh yeah, it’s old Macallan with some peat, many herbs, meats, spices and dried fruits. Where to start? Maybe with the mint lozenges, the liquorice and the chocolate? Or rather with the prunes soaked in Armagnac? The coffee? The verbena and parsley? The ham, the bacon, the game? The oranges? Ultra-classic big and smoky Macallan
timer Finish
it’s where it loses two or three points, the finish is a little drying, almost tannic. Very nice coffee in the aftertaste, though
