Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 셰리의 밀도가 지배한다. 무화과와 대추야자, 코린트 건포도가 앞서고 모카와 다크 초콜릿이 뒤를 받치며 훈제 햄과 석탄 연기가 분명하게 드러난다. 셰리 우드에서 34년을 보낸 1947년 맥캘란은 색부터 짙은 앰버로 내려앉아 있다. 팰럿은 매끄럽게 다듬어진 쪽이 아니라 거칠고 각이 살아 있으며 자두 오드비와 커피, 마르는 탄닌이 동시에 온다. 피니시가 오히려 가장 좋은 구간으로 프룬과 초콜릿, 생강이 오래 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark amber
air Nose
sherry galore, and that would rather be figs, dates, Corinthian raisins, mocha, and dark chocolate, then smoked ham and touches of flints, plus a little coal smoke. No, quite a lot of coal smoke. There’s some old Macallan in there for sure, the smoke gives that away. Tends to become more and more armagnacky (!), with even more raisins but also prunes
restaurant Palate
it still roars, and it’s definitely not a smooth, lazily rounded Macallan. I’d even say it’s a little rough around the edges, with some plum eau-de-vie in coffee, as well as a gritty, slightly drying tannicity. Like in 80%-chocolate. I’m not quite in awe, some sides remind me of the old 10 yo circa the same years. Something feels ‘young’, but it’s very good sherried whisky, no doubt about that
timer Finish
I like the finish better, it’s very prune-y and chocolaty. Marmalade and ginger in the aftertaste
