Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
셰리 캐스크에서 12년을 보낸 흔적이 1991년 빈티지 맥캘란의 두꺼운 윤곽으로 새겨져 있다. 하이 스피릿츠 컬렉션이 메모리스 시리즈로 2004년 병입한 단일 캐스크다. 노즈에는 잘 익은 건포도와 무화과잼, 가죽이 풀려난다. 입에서는 다크 초콜릿과 호두, 옅은 향신료가 46퍼센트 도수에 실려 둥글게 흐른다. 진한 적갈색이 잔에 비치고 스페이사이드 맥캘란 특유의 셰리 단맛이 여운에 또렷이 깃들어 있다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
sweeter and quite softer at first nosing, with indeed a little cane sugar this time (eh?) and much shier peatiness and smokiness. Even more mashed potatoes and grain in this one, the whole getting frankly porridgy after a moment, with even whiffs of horse sweat. Soft and wild at the same time
restaurant Palate
punchier and peatier than on the nose, slightly salty, with also quite some liquorice and earl grey tea (heavily infused). Hints of stout, violet sweets, blackberry jelly. Again this bitterness (more old walnuts here)
timer Finish
long, more ‘peaty and candied’. This one isn’t too winey, but one can feel it’s not ‘regular’ whisky and that ‘something’ happened. I liked the rum version’s cleanliness a little better I must say. 79 points . Another Roman label we made 'just for fun' a few years ago when that famous ‘fake Macallans’ issue occured. Benriach 12 yo 'Importanticus Fumosus' (46%, OB, Peated Port Finish, 2520 bottles, 2007) Do you spot ‘port’ in Importanticus?
