Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 불빛에 비춰 돌리면 붉은 기가 도는 앰버가 유난히 짙다. 코를 가져가면 흙내와 육수 같은 감칠맛이 먼저 오고 담뱃잎과 커피, 가죽이 차례로 얼굴을 내민다. 한 모금 삼키면 43도라고는 믿기 어려운 몸집이 잡히며 아삼 홍차와 블랙커런트, 다크 초콜릿이 겹겹이 쌓인다. 마지막에는 초콜릿과 얼그레이의 베르가못이 되돌아온다. 20년을 채운 1994년 스페이몰트에서 옛 셰리 숙성의 감각이 뚜렷하게 읽힌다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
very red amber. Where does that redness come from?
air Nose
let’s not push it all too far, this is pretty lovely, earthy, bouillony, with a style of sherry that’s pretty close to that of the Casa. Let’s say there’s more tobacco, coffee and leather, and rather less nuts. And less old Sauternes. The earthiness is very lovely, in fact. Mr Watson’s stock (I had never heard of Mr Watson before) just went up in my book
restaurant Palate
no, seriously, it’s very good sherried whisky. Even the 43% aren’t a problem, there’s body and there’s structure, some perfect black tea (Assam?), black currants, chocolate, coffee, tobacco, chicken soup, a pinhead of Marmite, old cigars, a wee waxy side that I haven’t encountered many times in Macallan, and, well, just a feeling of ‘Old Macallan’. But we’re not talking 1950s-1960s distillates having said that, those were on another planet
timer Finish
medium, very chocolaty. Oranges ans teas in the aftertaste. Earl Grey
