Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
오랜 세월이 응축된 짙은 적갈색이 잔에 깊이 어린다. 1971년 증류 후 셰리 캐스크에서 27년을 보낸 이 맥캘란은 옛 셰리 숙성의 정수를 보여 준다. 말린 대추와 무화과, 묵은 가죽과 오렌지 껍질의 향이 천천히 솟아오르고, 입에 머금으면 진한 건포도와 다크 초콜릿, 호두의 풍미가 겹겹이 번진다. 54.2도의 무게감 위로 오크의 탄닌이 또렷하며, 쌉쌀한 카카오와 향신료의 여운이 길고 깊게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
amber – cognac
air Nose
huge, starting curiously vegetal and rubbery. Tons of sherry, extremely concentrated. Notes of anise (raki), fig jam, prunes, old rancio, dried bananas… Goes on with old rum and candy sugar, a little liquorice… Also burnt wood and burnt tyres, armagnac, balsamic and game. Incredibly rich. Keeps developing on salmiak… Quite monstrous if I may say so, a very classic sherry monster indeed, although it does get a little more refined after quite a while (spearmint, lemon balm, peppermint)
restaurant Palate
extremely powerful and sherried. Reminds us of an armagnac at cask strength. Quite rough in fact, with lots of kirsch but also drying tannins. Lacks roundness. Again quite some rubber, salted liquorice… Develops on spices, pepper, cloves, cinnamon… Very hot and sort of acrid and burning. Gets vinous (very tannic red like young Madiran). The finish is very long but still quite hot, tannic, drying, with lots of prunes and cooked strawberries. A rather rustic Macallan, the sherry and the wood not being too integrated on the palate after all these years. 84 points . Macallan 27 yo 1971/1999 (54.2%, Signatory, dark sherry butt #12/096/28, 652 bottles)
