Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
셰리 버트에서 27년을 보낸 결과가 노즈에서 압도적으로 드러난다. 무화과 잼과 건자두, 오래된 란시오가 차례로 두드러지고 아니스와 감초, 탄 나무 뉘앙스가 뒤를 채운다. 팰럿은 54.2%의 도수와 셰리가 맞물려 강도가 상당하며 키르슈와 향신료, 소금기 있는 감초가 이어진다. 탄닌이 다소 거칠어 둥근 맛은 덜하다. 피니시는 매우 길고 뜨겁게 이어지는 전형적인 셰리 몬스터다.
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)
