Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 코끝에 가져가면 흙내와 육수 같은 묵직한 셰리 향이 가장 먼저 올라오고 담뱃잎과 커피, 가죽이 차례로 따라온다. 한 모금을 머금으면 43도라고 믿기 어려울 만큼 몸집이 단단하고, 아쌈 홍차와 카시스, 초콜릿이 혀 위를 지난다. 20년을 채운 이 보틀링에는 옛 맥캘란 특유의 옅은 밀랍 감촉도 스친다. 삼킨 뒤에는 오렌지와 얼그레이 향이 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
very red amber. Where does that redness come from?
air Nose
let’s not push it all too far, this is pretty lovely, earthy, bouillony, with a style of sherry that’s pretty close to that of the Casa. Let’s say there’s more tobacco, coffee and leather, and rather less nuts. And less old Sauternes. The earthiness is very lovely, in fact. Mr Watson’s stock (I had never heard of Mr Watson before) just went up in my book
restaurant Palate
no, seriously, it’s very good sherried whisky. Even the 43% aren’t a problem, there’s body and there’s structure, some perfect black tea (Assam?), black currants, chocolate, coffee, tobacco, chicken soup, a pinhead of Marmite, old cigars, a wee waxy side that I haven’t encountered many times in Macallan, and, well, just a feeling of ‘Old Macallan’. But we’re not talking 1950s-1960s distillates having said that, those were on another planet
timer Finish
medium, very chocolaty. Oranges ans teas in the aftertaste. Earl Grey
