Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
27년을 파인 오크 호그스헤드에서 보낸 이 보틀링은 노즈의 고소함이 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 볶은 땅콩과 피칸이 앞서고 미드와 조린 복숭아, 헤더 꿀이 이어지며 된장 같은 감칠맛과 멘톨이 뒤에서 받친다. 팰럿은 초반에 오크가 다소 크게 나와 쓴 잎사귀와 가죽이 드러나지만 곧 커피와 담배, 마멀레이드가 자리를 넘겨받는다. 45.2도의 도수는 이 무게를 지탱하기에 충분하다. 피니시는 길고 잎사귀 같은 쌉쌀함과 탄 캐러멜이 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
perhaps weren’t those the best years anymore already, but I’m finding this nose pretty perfect, wonderfully nutty at first nosing, with roasted peanuts (a marker) and pecans as well as this tight smoke. Then mead, preserved peaches and apricots, honey (late-season heather honey, really) and then this rather perfect maltiness, with touches of miso and ham. Almost forgot to mention menthol, which is rather old-Macallan too. Superb nose
restaurant Palate
the oak’s a tad loud at first (bitter leaves and leather) but coffee and tobacco are soon to take over, while the expected marmalade and sultanas are sticking their heads out. It all turns out just fine in the end, even if it remains a tad leafier than usual
timer Finish
long, still very leafy, a notch bitter (Campari-ish). A little burnt caramel and drops of Guinness
