Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈는 두 시대의 중간 지점에 선다. 연필심과 메이플 시럽, 바닐라 같은 현대적 오크 뉘앙스가 있고 그 아래로 무화과와 대추야자, 마르멜로와 건포도의 구식 맥캘란 성격이 명확하게 드러난다. 딸기잼과 오렌지 마멀레이드까지 이어져 향의 폭이 넓다. 셰리 캐스크에서 숙성해 2014년 병입한 이 위스키는 팰럿에서 향보다 단순해지고 초콜릿과 건포도의 단맛이 앞선다. 피니시는 적당히 길고 훈연이 뒷맛에 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber. Absolutely not ruby but that’s good news. Well, they could always do a Beaujolais finish on a very young spirit if they need genuine ruby…
air Nose
we’re somewhere between both worlds. Modern woodiness (pencil shavings, maple syrup, vanilla) and old-style Macallan, with figs, dates, quinces, raisins and touches of both strawberry jam and orange marmalade. It is an aromatic nose, more ‘Macallan’ than many other recent offerings (certainly the Fine Oaks) and it reminds me a bit of the old ‘all blue’ 30yo. One may feel a little ‘wood technology’ but I won’t deny it’s extremely well made. So far
restaurant Palate
the oak doesn’t feel too much but it’s simpler than on the nose, more fruity and jammy, with good chocolate and raisins. It’s a sweet one, it’s only in the background that roasted nuts add a welcome bitterness. Seville oranges
timer Finish
good length, chocolaty and raisiny. Smoky aftertaste, with a feeling of fresh butter (oak in this context?)
