Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스페이 강 유역의 온화한 계절이 1998년 스피릿에 촘촘한 결을 남겼다. 앰버빛 잔에서 말린 과일과 석탄 연기, 흑연 기름과 패션프루트, 파이프 담배가 작은 조각처럼 무수히 흩어진다. 52.8도의 입은 무화과와 건포도, 마멀레이드와 시가로 채워지고 코코아의 거친 결이 뒤를 받친다. 마지막까지 건포도가 아름답게 남는다.

instant thrill. Amazingly focussed and yet complex, with dried and fresh fruits mingled with coal smoke and various oils. Sounds simple, it’s not. What’s absolutely striking is something that’s relatively rare in whisky in my experience, and that’s to be found more often in great well-aged wines, which is a profile that’s essentially tertiary, that is to say a gathering of myriads of tiny flavours rather than a few massive ones. Pure poetry, in fact. Just a few examples, soot, passion fruits, papayas, graphite oil (its quite graphity, in fact), plum jam, pipe tobacco, rhubarb… And dozens and dozens of other aromas. What’s particularly impressive as well is the freshness, we’re absolutely not ‘all on raisins’. My, we could go on and on…

very huge whisky! Starts dry, rather on chocolate and raisins (I mean, the black, rather dry raisins), but it just does the peacock’s tail after that, with figs, various raisins, marmalade, jams, chutneys, chocolates, a touch of bouillon, cigars, tangerines, a tiny metallic side, a drop of limoncello, some almonds, herbs (rosemary, sage)… The list is simply endless. Now the background is also a little gritty and slightly coarse, so to speak, say with more cocoa powder. That’s cool, these great whiskies are never schmaltzy!
timer Finish
maybe not the longest Macallan ever, and maybe the finish is a notch narrower, but these… raisins are beautiful
