Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
이십 년을 올로로소 셰리에서 보낸 원액이 잔 안에 짙은 호박빛으로 내려앉는다. 향은 유칼립투스와 수지의 서늘함이 먼저 튀어오르고 뒤이어 설탕에 절인 오렌지와 옅은 연기가 겹쳐 든다. 46도의 입맛은 크리미하게 시작해 배와 무화과, 말린 과일의 단맛이 층을 이루고 박하와 백후추가 그 위를 가른다. 몰트맨이 고른 이 1990년은 셰리의 단맛에 허브의 서늘함을 더해 균형을 잡았고, 부드러운 타닌의 여운이 길게 이어진다.
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)
