Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코끝으로 가져가면 리필 셰리 버트를 거쳤다고는 믿기 힘든 맑은 향이 먼저 다가온다. 자몽과 인동꽃, 갓 바른 버터의 냄새가 순서대로 열리고 라일락의 기척이 스친다. 잔을 더 흔들면 잉크와 흑연, 마지팬 같은 광물성 층이 드러난다. 한 모금을 머금으면 49.8도의 도수가 흐트러짐 없이 뻗으며 레몬과 보리의 맛이 선명하게 이어진다. 삼킨 뒤에는 쓴 아몬드와 백묵, 시트론의 여운이 깔끔하게 물러난다.

fabulous, old Macallan without any apparent sherriness, how rare is that? It’s mesmerizing, with an incredible complexity that hints at the best of white Burgundy. No, really. Limestone, grapefruits, honeysuckle, gooseberries, fresh butter, lilac, spearmint, more grapefruits… Perhaps more a great Chablis than a Meursault or a Montrachet so far… Let’s see what happens once water’s been added - because it really keeps punching you after all these years. With water: silex! You just cannot beat this. And myriads of tinier aromas, raw wool, barley, ink, old toolbox, coins, putty, plasticine, marzipan, putty (you're repeating yourself, S.), graphite, asphalt, carbon, brake fluid… Oh, and one tiny green apple

I want to marry this whisky. The purity is insane, everything is just totally perfect. This is utterly grand. Please call the anti-maltoporn brigade (long time no see, guys!) With water: incredible purity and intensity
timer Finish
amazing. Lemons, bitter almonds, chalk, nori, citrons…
