Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 두어 번 돌린 뒤 코를 가까이 하면 유칼립투스와 송진이 예상보다 이르게 튀어 오른다. 그 뒤로 설탕에 절인 오렌지와 셰리의 단맛이 겹쳐지며 향이 부풀어 오른다. 한 모금을 머금으면 크리미한 질감이 먼저 닿고 말린 배와 무화과, 향신료가 차례로 풀린다. 혀를 굴리면 페퍼민트의 서늘함과 백후추의 자극이 함께 올라온다. 삼키고 나면 46도의 온기가 중간보다 길게 남으며 리필 버트에서 15년을 보낸 균형이 또렷이 드러난다.
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)
