Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
짙은 호박빛이 잔 속에 깊게 고여 있다. 코를 대면 유칼립투스와 수지 향이 먼저 솟고 그 아래로 설탕에 절인 오렌지와 셰리의 단맛, 옅은 연기가 겹친다. 입에서는 크리미한 질감이 묵직하게 입을 채우며 말린 무화과와 배, 향신료가 차례로 번진다. 페퍼민트의 서늘함과 흰 후추의 자극이 단맛을 붙잡아 균형을 만든다. 프레시 셰리에서 10년을 보낸 이 위스키는 짧은 숙성이 무색하게 대담하다. 여운은 중간 길이로 단정하게 닫힌다.
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)
