Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
샤토 오브리옹 와인 캐스크 피니시라는 이력이 향에서 가장 먼저 두드러진다. 노즈는 붉은 베리와 말린 자두가 앞서고 버번 캐스크에서 온 바닐라가 뒤에서 받친다. 팰럿에서는 와인 캐스크 특유의 탄닌과 46%의 무게가 맞물려 구조감이 단단하며 오렌지 마멀레이드와 코코아가 올라온다. 피니시는 중간 이상 길이로 포도 껍질의 쌉쌀함이 남는다. 2007년 병입된 실험적 성격의 미션 골드다.
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)
