Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가까이 하면 1970년 빈티지를 38년간 퍼스트필 셰리 버트에서 길러낸 깊이가 노즈에서 드러난다. 건포도와 무화과, 오래된 가죽 향이 겹겹이 발전하며 매캘란 스페이몰트다운 무게감을 예고한다. 입에서는 다크초콜릿과 호두, 정향이 진하게 이어지고 46도가 구조감을 단단하게 받친다. 긴 피니시에는 말린 대추와 가죽, 은은한 쓴맛이 오래 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
