Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에는 현대적 오크와 구식 맥캘란이 함께 있다. 연필심과 바닐라, 메이플 시럽이 앞서지만 그 아래로 무화과와 건포도, 마르멜로의 건과일이 분명하게 읽힌다. 딸기잼과 오렌지 껍질까지 더해져 향의 짜임이 촘촘하다. 43도로 병입한 이 스페이몰트는 팰럿에서 향보다 단순해지며 초콜릿과 건포도의 단맛이 앞서고 볶은 견과의 쓴맛이 배경에서 균형을 잡는다. 피니시는 적당히 길고 훈연과 버터 뉘앙스가 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?)
