Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 돌리면 어두운 볏짚빛이 얇게 번지고 향은 시간이 갈수록 좋아진다. 코를 가져가면 과일 케이크와 오렌지 껍질, 귤이 먼저 나오고 생강이 두껍게 깔린다. 더 기다리면 라벤더와 갓 간 육두구, 전나무 꿀이 열린다. 한 모금 머금으면 갓 짜낸 오렌지즙과 정향, 온갖 건과일이 균형 있게 지나간다. 삼킨 뒤에는 그랑마니에 같은 오렌지 향이 짧게 스치며 마무리된다.
AITasting Notes

ah, it’s getting better and better. Again a nice balance, more on fruitcake, orange peel, tangerine. Lots of ginger too. Quinquina. Develops on lavender, fresh nutmeg, fir honey. I like it! It makes me think of Highland Park… Wait! Highland Park? Hmmm, Highland Park belongs to Edrington Group, just like Macallan, and we always wondered where the Macallan people could have found all these ‘new’ bourbon casks and… and… Hey, I’m joking! Anyway, this 25 yo has got a very, very nice nose

balance is the word here, even if the attack is just a little watery. But the 'spirit' arrives after ten seconds, and then this 25 yo gets most enjoyable. Freshly squeezed orange juice, spices (clove), all sorts of dried fruits, ginger, pepper… Hints of Grand Marnier. And again a very nice balance even if, between us, they could have bottled these high-end malts at 46% instead of 43. You’re right, and why not the youngest ones as well? The nose was still nicer than the mouth, which has a quite weak and rather short finish, on orange peel. Too bad! But it’s really a nice malt… 85 points. Macallan 30 yo 'Fine Oak' (43%, OB, 2004)
