Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
퍼스트필 셰리 버트에서 39년을 보낸 시간이 1970년 빈티지 맥캘란에 깊은 무게를 더한다. 오랜 우드의 영향으로 코에는 무화과 잼과 낡은 가죽, 호두 껍질이 천천히 피어오른다. 입에서는 건포도와 흑설탕의 단맛이 진하게 흐르고 묵은 셰리 특유의 담뱃잎이 뒤를 받친다. 46도의 부드러운 도수가 어두운 마호가니빛 액체를 매끄럽게 감싸고, 여운에는 말린 과일과 은은한 쓴맛이 길게 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
dark mahogany
air Nose
yes, this is extremely different from any other Macallan. Starts on heady notes of mulled wine, cloves, big juniper berries, spearmint and coffee toffee and gets then more classically sherried, with the dark chocolate upfront and then notes of soy sauce, balsamico and barbecued beef. Also cigar box, thuja wood and very ripe blackberries. What’s quite incredible is that the whole is still quite fresh and lively, and certainly not sluggish. I like it
restaurant Palate
thick, oily, rich, not weak at all despite the 40%, and more of a classic now. Heavy notes of rum-soaked raisins, figs, old rancio (huge!) and orange and herbs liqueur (like that famous Dantziger Goldwasser). Gets then spicier, mainly on cloves and pepper, with very funny hints of mescal as well. Excellent, really
timer Finish
long, coating, rich but clean and pure, with a faint saltiness as the signature and an aftertaste on blackberry jelly. Excellent sherried Macallan, certainly not on the same planet as its bros from 1980 and later
