Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
짙은 호박빛이 잔 안에서 무겁게 일렁인다. 1990년 원액이 리필 버트에서 15년을 지낸 이 보틀링은 유칼립투스와 송진 같은 서늘한 향을 먼저 내민다. 그 뒤로 설탕에 절인 오렌지와 옅은 연기가 겹치며 셰리의 단맛이 또렷이 깃들어 있다. 46도의 입안은 크리미하게 열려 말린 무화과와 배, 향신료를 차례로 풀어놓고 백후추의 자극이 끝에서 살짝 조인다. 여운은 박하처럼 서늘하게 길어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
deep amber - much darker than the old one, see picture above
air Nose
bolder, and more spectacular attack, with the eucalyptus and resin coming much sooner. More phenolic, with whiffs of smoke. Lots of crystallised orange. Some really great sherry in there… A beautiful nose, bolder, with more oomph than its older version. Wow!
restaurant Palate
oh, this has just nothing to do with the ‘old’ 30 yo . A bold, creamy attack, on lots of sherry, dried fruits (all kinds, pear, orange, fig…), spices, cake… Close to the greatest old Macallan 18 yo distilled in the seventies. Great notes of eucalyptus and peppermint, and some soft tannins and white pepper. Beautiful. The finish is medium long, but bold and balanced. What’s sure is that this new 30 yo is just another whisky. It turns out that they managed to turn their formerly overlooked 30 yo into a benchmark malt, congrats ! 90 points . November 22, 2004 MUSIC - Recommended listening: highly skilled French pop composer Benjamin Biolay sings ' Les Cerfs-Volants ' (Paperkites - mp3). Some say he's Serge Gainsbourg's spiritual son... Benjamin is also Chiara Mastroianni's husband (picture, right) - and Chiara is the daughter of Catherine Deneuve (picture, left) and Marcello Mastroianni. Yes, Benjamin is the guy on the middle of the picture. Lucky one. Please buy his music! TASTING - THREE NEW INDIE MACALLANS Macallan 1990/2004 Rum Finish (46%, Wilson & Morgan)
