Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈부터 다른 맥캘란과 확연히 구분된다. 뱅쇼와 정향, 주니퍼 베리가 앞서고 스피어민트와 커피 토피가 겹친 뒤 다크 초콜릿과 간장, 발사믹, 구운 소고기로 발전한다. 시가 박스와 잘 익은 블랙베리까지 더해지지만 전체는 여전히 생생하다. 퍼스트필 셰리 벗에서 숙성해 색이 짙은 마호가니에 이르며 팰럿은 기름지고 두꺼워 럼에 절인 건포도와 진한 랑시오가 밀려든다. 피니시는 길고 옅은 소금기가 서명처럼 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
