Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
호박빛이 잔 속에서 고요하게 빛난다. 향은 달콤한 셰리 대신 불붙이지 않은 시가와 오래된 호두, 만자니야의 짠 기운을 앞세우고 값진 목재와 그 광택제의 냄새가 뒤를 잇는다. 시간이 지나면 모카와 기름내가 드러난다. 입에서는 검은 건포도와 커피, 오래된 코냑의 란시오가 한꺼번에 밀려오고 세비야 오렌지가 중심을 잡는다. 여운은 길지 않으나 오렌지와 초콜릿의 선이 끝까지 흔들리지 않는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber
air Nose
well, it’s one of these old Macallans that reek of Havana cigars – unlit of course. No sweet sherry here and no Christmas cake, we’re rather on old walnuts, vin jaune, manzanilla (and big time!), old leather jacket and then various precious woods and the polishes that come with them. Oh, and there IS a little wood smoke as well. In short, a wonderfully dry and almost leafy nose. After twenty minutes: the dried fruits come out, together with some mocha and motor oil. Same colours anyway ;-)
restaurant Palate
bang, everything comes at the same time, which is quite unusual with these old whiskies. Black raisins, coffee, old cognac (rancio), tobacco, a little tar, blackcurrant liqueur and, should I add of course, the trademark Seville oranges. Some heather honey as well but then it just wouldn’t change. It’s not really full bodied in fact and it’s even a little light by today’s standards, but what a glorious combination!
timer Finish
not extremely long and all in keeping with the arrival, so it just never changes. Or when linearity is stunning. Having said that, it’s rather more on the orangey side in the aftertaste. Maybe more chocolate as well
