Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
짙은 호박빛이 잔 벽에 진한 자국을 남긴다. 향은 유칼립투스와 송진이 이르게 솟아오르며 서늘한 페놀과 옅은 연기가 뒤따르고 그 위에 설탕에 절인 오렌지가 화려하게 얹힌다. 46도의 도수 덕에 입은 크리미하면서도 힘이 있어 배와 오렌지, 무화과 같은 말린 과일과 케이크의 단맛이 두꺼운 질감으로 흐른다. 페퍼민트의 서늘함이 끝까지 중심을 잡는다. 여운은 중간보다 길고 부드러운 탄닌과 흰 후추가 깔끔하게 정리한다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep amber - much darker than the old one, see picture above
air Nose
bolder, and more spectacular attack, with the eucalyptus and resin coming much sooner. More phenolic, with whiffs of smoke. Lots of crystallised orange. Some really great sherry in there… A beautiful nose, bolder, with more oomph than its older version. Wow!
restaurant Palate
oh, this has just nothing to do with the ‘old’ 30 yo . A bold, creamy attack, on lots of sherry, dried fruits (all kinds, pear, orange, fig…), spices, cake… Close to the greatest old Macallan 18 yo distilled in the seventies. Great notes of eucalyptus and peppermint, and some soft tannins and white pepper. Beautiful. The finish is medium long, but bold and balanced. What’s sure is that this new 30 yo is just another whisky. It turns out that they managed to turn their formerly overlooked 30 yo into a benchmark malt, congrats ! 90 points . November 22, 2004 MUSIC - Recommended listening: highly skilled French pop composer Benjamin Biolay sings ' Les Cerfs-Volants ' (Paperkites - mp3). Some say he's Serge Gainsbourg's spiritual son... Benjamin is also Chiara Mastroianni's husband (picture, right) - and Chiara is the daughter of Catherine Deneuve (picture, left) and Marcello Mastroianni. Yes, Benjamin is the guy on the middle of the picture. Lucky one. Please buy his music! TASTING - THREE NEW INDIE MACALLANS Macallan 1990/2004 Rum Finish (46%, Wilson & Morgan)
