Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 천천히 흔들면 옅은 황금빛이 가볍게 잔 안을 돈다. 코끝에 가져가면 버번 배럴에서 자란 맥캘란답게 꿀과 바닐라, 잘 익은 사과 향이 맑게 솟아오른다. 한 모금을 머금으면 1990년 증류해 25년을 보낸 원액의 부드러운 보리 단맛이 혀에 감기고 45.1도의 차분한 도수가 백도와 견과의 결을 천천히 풀어 놓는다. 삼킨 뒤에는 바닐라 크림과 마른 보리의 단 여운이 은은하게 깃들어 있다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber/bronze
air Nose
same style as the 1958, with again these fino-ish notes, walnuts, leather, tobacco, humidor… It’s rather less expressive than the 1958 but there’s also more menthol and eucalyptus, so maybe the casks were a little more active. Hard to say… Also touches of old ham, almonds, even ideas of yellow curry... So yeah, the complexity is pretty immense
restaurant Palate
oh yes, this one is incomparably more on menthol than the 1958 and it seems that there’s much more peat as well. It’s even quite medicinal and sort of Taliskerish. Some tar, cough lozenges, angelica, chartreuse, even a little aniseed, maybe wormwood, marzipan, crystallised oranges... This time we’re having a big whisky but it’s true that it was bottled at 45.5% vs. 43. Brilliant even if no whisky lover who would have never tried some old Macallan would tell you this can be, well, Macallan
timer Finish
long this time, with some pine sap, eucalyptus drops, After Eights, mint, fir honeydew… In fact, it’s quite resinous. A little old wood in the aftertaste
