Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 돌려 향을 열면 아주 잘 익은 사과와 딸기, 구스베리가 먼저 뛰어나온다. 조금 지나면 생강과 계피, 아니스가 겹치고 풍선껌 같은 단내까지 슬쩍 끼어든다. 43도를 한 모금 머금으면 서른 해 숙성이 무색하게 떫지 않고 말린 오렌지와 무화과, 마르멜로 젤리와 마지팬이 이어진다. 삼킨 뒤에는 설탕에 절인 레몬 껍질과 토피가 중간 길이로 남는다.

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
