Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 흔들면 셰리 버트에서 27년을 보낸 술이 짙은 코냑빛으로 무겁게 돌아간다. 코를 가져가면 무화과 잼과 말린 자두, 오래된 랑시오 향이 빽빽하게 올라오고 태운 나무 냄새가 뒤섞인다. 한 모금을 머금으면 53.8도의 힘이 거칠게 밀고 들어오며 키르슈와 소금 감초, 정향의 맛이 이어진다. 삼킨 뒤에는 자두와 익힌 딸기의 떫은 단맛이 오래 버틴다.
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)
