Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스페이사이드 크레이겔라키 언덕에 자리한 매캘란은 깊은 셰리 숙성으로 이름난 증류소다. 셰리 캐스크에서 38년을 보낸 1971년 빈티지는 짙은 마호가니빛을 머금는다. 코에는 말린 무화과와 오렌지 껍질, 오래된 오크 향이 그윽하게 솟고, 43도의 부드러운 입에서는 건포도와 다크초콜릿, 은은한 향신료가 매끄럽게 감싼다. 오랜 셰리의 따뜻한 잔향이 길고 우아하게 사라진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold, just a tad darker than the 8yo
air Nose
very similar, just a little less mashy but a tad oakier, with a little more vanilla and warm butter. Slightly rounder and more caramelised – and civilized. No comments on Japanese climate I’m afraid but I like this better than the 8 yo on the nose
restaurant Palate
the same happens on the palate, the attack is quite nice, caramelized, nutty and vanilled but it all falls apart after that, with just these tannins remaining, as well as a little cardboard and a little salt plus hints of liquorice. The finish isn’t quite as nonexistent as the 8yo’s but frankly, there isn’t much happening here. Certainly not a samurai: 72 points . Now, the good news is that you don’t even need to rinse your glass before you pour yourself another whisky.
