Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들면 밀짚빛이 가볍게 돌고 61.5도라는 숫자가 무색할 만큼 향은 온순하게 열린다. 코를 가져가면 캐러멜과 프랄린, 바닐라 케이크가 먼저 올라오고 밀랍과 시가 상자가 뒤를 받친다. 한 모금을 머금으면 감초와 캐러멜이 강하게 치고 들어오며 구운 견과와 옅은 연기가 뒤따른다. 셰리를 거치지 않은 이 8년 숙성 원액은 삼킨 뒤 프랄린과 바닐라를 길게 끌고 가며 균형을 지킨다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
rather mellow at that strength, starting quite grainy, with notes of caramel and praline, nougat ice cream and vanilla cake. Really ‘nice’, with quite some wood but it’s far from being overwhelming. Gets more and more on cake, with hints of violet crème and beeswax, cigar box. Not hugely complex but the balance is perfect, with also a little liquorice and a few vegetal notes (hay). Maybe a little peat as well? It gets better and better with time, with the wood taking control but it’s definitely an elegant kind of oak
restaurant Palate
powerful and sweet, with again a very nice tannic structure. Lots of body! Huge liquoricy and caramelly attack, with lots of roasted nuts and quite some smoky ‘stuff’. It gets then nicely sugarish (fruit liqueurs, Jell-O) with lots of vivacity. Nice notes of herbal tea, Turkish delights… The finish is long, balanced, mostly on praline and vanilla. A very good un-sherried Macallan, nicely compact and with lots of oomph! 87 points . Macallan-Glenlivet 8 yo 1989/1997 (61.5%, Milroy’s)
