Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 1969년 증류된 맥캘란의 잘 익은 오렌지와 꿀, 묵은 오크의 깊은 향이 먼저 드러난다. 아메리칸 오크에서 35년을 보낸 팰럿은 바닐라와 말린 과일, 부드러운 향신료가 원숙한 구조감으로 발전한다. 40.3도의 낮은 도수는 반세기 가까운 숙성의 섬세함을 부드럽게 전하고, 피니시에는 꿀과 옅은 오크가 길게 남는다. 빈티지 맥캘란 특유의 원숙한 균형이 명확하게 드러난다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
not shy at all, starting on lots of apple juice and cider, with hints of mint and getting then much grainier and mashier (porridge, oatcakes, mashed potatoes), with quite some liquorice to spice the whole up. Certainly pleasant as an everyday malt under Italian climates
restaurant Palate
the attack is pretty nice (nice caramel and toasted brioche) but it’s then very weak and almost falls apart after just two or three seconds, leaving room for some tannins and not much else. No middle and a very short finish, with just these tannins. I don’t know whether that’s a flaw but it’s extremely harmless to say the least. 70 points. Macallan 'Distiller's Choice’ (40%, OB, circa 2004) This version was for Japan
