Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔 속에 고인 짙은 적갈색이 빛을 거의 통과시키지 않는다. 향은 말린 자두와 호두 껍질, 축축한 흙의 냄새가 층을 이루고 그 위로 담뱃잎과 잼처럼 졸인 붉은 과일, 갓 구운 바나나 빵이 떠오른다. 46.8도의 입은 두꺼운 질감으로 흘러 오렌지 리큐어의 단맛과 감초, 오향의 이국적인 향신료가 차례로 드러나며 탄닌은 아슬아슬하게 균형을 지킨다. 1991년 증류된 이 위스키의 여운에는 검은 후추와 마른 버섯의 흙내가 오래 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
Mahogany
air Nose
Instantaneously classical, pure sherried Macallan. A cavalcade of prunes, dates, crushed walnuts, balsamico and damp earth. Develops further with all these wonderful tertiary aromas of pipe tobacco, hessian, coal hearth and some jammy red fruit notes. It's a delightful, clean and balanced nose that would make diehard Macallan fans squee. Some toffee, liquorice and fresh banana bread follows on although globally it actually starts to feel like quite a dry and lean sherry style
restaurant Palate
Syrupy fruit liqueurs of the strawberry, orange and banana kind along with wood spice, a little natural tar, some more liquorice and something a little sappy. There is an extractive edge to the wood but it has a thickness that keeps the tannins (mostly) in check. Becomes quite spicy in an oriental way with notes of soy and five spice, also quite a bit of high cocoa dark chocolate with sea salt. It's good but it's really walking a bitter tightrope
timer Finish
Medium-long with some black pepper and strong tea. Not so much fruit around but more earthiness, dried mushrooms, umami and spice
