Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가볍게 돌리면 골드빛 술이 얇게 흘러내린다. 코를 가져가면 재스민과 오렌지 꽃이 먼저 피어오르고 사과와 배즙, 아카시아 꿀이 뒤를 따른다. 한 모금 머금으면 리필 버번 캐스크다운 가벼운 몸이 혀 위를 미끄러지며 바닐라와 타르트 타탱, 잘 익은 미라벨 자두의 단맛이 이어진다. 삼킨 뒤에는 사과 파이의 향이 짧지만 산뜻하게 스치고 옅은 꿀이 되돌아온다. 셰리 없이도 단정하게 완성된 1998년 스페이몰트다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
it reminds me a bit of the early Fine Oaks, with a rather simple but nicely floral and fruity nose. I find a lot of jasmine and orange blossom, maybe even rose petals, then simply apple and pear juice, vanilla, honeysuckle, acacia honey, and then a plum tart sprinkled with cinnamon. As it should be! Nice nose
restaurant Palate
a light and quite elegant Macallan, rather close to a Balvenie we will say, with vanilla, tarte tatin, quince cake, ripe mirabelles, and barley sugar. I find it very consensual and certainly far from the 'historic' Macallans. Perhaps there is a bit of sherry in it, but it is very discreet. Some sultanas, perhaps
timer Finish
rather short but fresh and playful, fruity, mainly on apple pie. A light honey is back on the retro-olfaction
