Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
백포도주 같은 옅은 빛이 잔 안에 맑게 어린다. 향은 힘차고 곡물의 날것과 연기가 함께 오르며 부싯돌과 성냥, 석탄 화덕 같은 광물의 기운이 뚜렷하다. 갓 벤 풀과 젖은 건초가 그 뒤에 깔린다. 입에서는 50.9도가 달고 두꺼운 질감으로 흐르지만 어린 스피릿의 날카로움이 함께 따라온다. 레몬 씨와 졸인 레몬즙의 산미가 끝으로 갈수록 커진다. 1974년에 증류한 술로는 드물게 스모키한 결을 지녔다. 여운은 길고 레몬 껍질의 기운이 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
pale white wine
air Nose
powerful, starting very grainy and smoky, getting rather mineral after a while, with very present notes of gunflint, matchsticks and coal oven. Also hints of freshly cut grass and wet hay. Sort of rough but interestingly smoky for a recent Macallan
restaurant Palate
sweet and full-bodied attack, very youngish this time. Something acrid, alas. Some smoke again but not too much, the whole developing on lemon seeds, concentrated lemon juice, with something Sugarish in the background. Not too ‘Macallanish’, whatever that means nowadays. Gets also bitterer with time
timer Finish
long, on spirit and lemon zests. In short, it’s rather sharp but not exactly unbalanced, and the nose was quite interesting. 80 points . Macallan 1974/2001 (50.5%, Scott's Selection)
