Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 돌려 향을 깨우면 곡물의 구수함과 옅은 연기가 먼저 올라오고 곧 부싯돌과 성냥 머리 같은 미네랄 냄새가 뒤따른다. 코를 더 가까이 하면 갓 벤 풀과 젖은 건초의 향도 스친다. 한 모금을 머금으면 50.5도의 단맛이 힘 있게 밀려들다가 농축된 레몬즙 같은 날카로운 산미로 바뀐다. 1974년 증류된 이 위스키는 삼킨 뒤 레몬 껍질과 스피릿의 기운을 길게 남긴다.
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)
