Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔에 담긴 빛은 갓 짜낸 백포도주처럼 옅고 투명하다. 코를 대면 광물의 기운이 먼저 와서 부싯돌과 성냥, 석탄 화덕의 냄새가 곡물의 날것과 뒤섞인다. 젖은 건초와 풀 내음이 그 뒤에서 서늘하게 받친다. 50.9도의 술은 입에서 달고 힘차게 열리지만 곧 어린 스피릿 특유의 각이 드러나고 졸인 레몬즙 같은 산미가 자리를 넓힌다. 1974년에 증류해 2004년에 담긴 이 보틀링은 매끈함보다 거친 성격으로 기억된다. 여운은 길고 레몬 껍질이 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)
