Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들면 9년 숙성치고 놀랍도록 진한 앰버빛이 두껍게 벽을 적신다. 코를 가져가면 유칼립투스와 송진 같은 서늘한 기운이 먼저 오고 옅은 연기와 설탕에 절인 오렌지가 따라 올라온다. 한 모금을 머금으면 크리미한 질감이 입을 채우면서 셰리의 말린 과일과 무화과, 케이크 같은 단맛이 이어진다. 페퍼민트의 서늘함과 흰 후추가 그 위에 얹힌다. 삼키고 나면 부드러운 타닌이 균형을 잡으며 중간 길이로 물러난다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep amber - much darker than the old one, see picture above
air Nose
bolder, and more spectacular attack, with the eucalyptus and resin coming much sooner. More phenolic, with whiffs of smoke. Lots of crystallised orange. Some really great sherry in there… A beautiful nose, bolder, with more oomph than its older version. Wow!
restaurant Palate
oh, this has just nothing to do with the ‘old’ 30 yo . A bold, creamy attack, on lots of sherry, dried fruits (all kinds, pear, orange, fig…), spices, cake… Close to the greatest old Macallan 18 yo distilled in the seventies. Great notes of eucalyptus and peppermint, and some soft tannins and white pepper. Beautiful. The finish is medium long, but bold and balanced. What’s sure is that this new 30 yo is just another whisky. It turns out that they managed to turn their formerly overlooked 30 yo into a benchmark malt, congrats ! 90 points . November 22, 2004 MUSIC - Recommended listening: highly skilled French pop composer Benjamin Biolay sings ' Les Cerfs-Volants ' (Paperkites - mp3). Some say he's Serge Gainsbourg's spiritual son... Benjamin is also Chiara Mastroianni's husband (picture, right) - and Chiara is the daughter of Catherine Deneuve (picture, left) and Marcello Mastroianni. Yes, Benjamin is the guy on the middle of the picture. Lucky one. Please buy his music! TASTING - THREE NEW INDIE MACALLANS Macallan 1990/2004 Rum Finish (46%, Wilson & Morgan)
