Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
맥캘란이 1950년 빚어 무려 58년을 견딘 전설적인 원액이 퍼스트필 셰리 캐스크의 흔적으로 잔 속 깊은 마호가니빛으로 가라앉아 있다. 향은 말린 무화과와 오래된 가죽, 묵은 오크가 그윽하게 풀려난다. 43도의 입맛은 흑설탕과 견과, 짙은 향신료가 두꺼운 질감으로 흐른다. 반세기를 넘긴 시간이 응축된 여운이 다크초콜릿과 마른 과일로 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold, just a tad darker than the 8yo
air Nose
very similar, just a little less mashy but a tad oakier, with a little more vanilla and warm butter. Slightly rounder and more caramelised – and civilized. No comments on Japanese climate I’m afraid but I like this better than the 8 yo on the nose
restaurant Palate
the same happens on the palate, the attack is quite nice, caramelized, nutty and vanilled but it all falls apart after that, with just these tannins remaining, as well as a little cardboard and a little salt plus hints of liquorice. The finish isn’t quite as nonexistent as the 8yo’s but frankly, there isn’t much happening here. Certainly not a samurai: 72 points . Now, the good news is that you don’t even need to rinse your glass before you pour yourself another whisky.
