Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 돌리면 마호가니에 가까운 빛깔이 두꺼운 자국을 남기며 흘러내린다. 코를 가져가면 자두와 대추야자, 으깬 호두가 차례로 밀려오고 파이프 담배와 젖은 흙 냄새가 뒤를 받친다. 한 모금을 머금으면 딸기와 오렌지 리큐어 같은 시럽질 단맛이 우드 스파이스와 함께 퍼지고 바다 소금을 뿌린 다크초콜릿이 이어진다. 삼키면 후추와 진한 홍차, 말린 버섯의 감칠맛이 남아 1979년 증류의 깊이를 보여준다.
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
